@Mad Marie: First you need to bring the NPC 12 bearskins, and then take a letter to their aunt... this is why the printer is always out of paper.

2023-01-12 11:59:37 +0000 UTCMakes me feel better that I never really got mine set up. Wireless printer, but couldn't get it to connect. It was on sale for like 20 bucks anyways.

2023-01-11 13:56:36 +0000 UTCThe review site Wirecutter did an article on which printer you should buy for home use, and after much research their conclusion was: none at all, if you can possibly avoid it. Most of their reviews are all about which product is the best, but the printer review was mostly about which one was slightly less unpleasant than the others.

2023-01-11 01:59:10 +0000 UTCThe moment they manage to procure coffee, they will also discover that they are out of paper again

2023-01-11 01:41:42 +0000 UTCOut of coffee? AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!

2023-01-10 23:17:30 +0000 UTCAs a business manager... this is an impossibility.

Daniel Drazen
2023-01-10 22:24:35 +0000 UTCAs someone who used to work in IT... All printers are designed in hell, and can fuck right off. Long-term they are awful devices that need some serious rework and would probably benefit from better technical standardization across manufacturers.

2023-01-10 21:13:03 +0000 UTC@OldGoat: provided that one has printed prior to the power outage…
Mad Marie
2023-01-10 20:07:16 +0000 UTCTo be fair, the easiest reminder you need to refill printer paper is running out of printer paper.

2023-01-10 18:46:35 +0000 UTCHard copies do tend to work better than computers during prolonged power outages.
OldGoat
2023-01-10 18:14:55 +0000 UTC"printers are the fax machines of the 21st century"--now just hold on a dang minute here, Hoss. Even as someone who was into the idea of tablets _before_ Star Trek TNG, print still has its advantages. I'll cut off my rant here, but I could go on at length on this subject, oh yes.

2023-01-10 17:29:02 +0000 UTCOh dear. It sure is a slippery slope. Maybe due to leakage by Moray?

2023-01-10 16:23:45 +0000 UTCThe moment they manage to procure toner, they will also discover that they are out of coffee.

2023-01-10 16:22:01 +0000 UTCUnder Claire there will be truly paperless operations

2023-01-10 16:05:37 +0000 UTCLike I wrote a few strips back, it should be "AI LOAD LETTER" in Cubetown... :P
Leak
2023-01-10 13:38:57 +0000 UTCbetter than NPC load letter…more difficult to get them to do it.
Mad Marie
2023-01-10 13:33:43 +0000 UTC"PC LOAD LETTER? WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN?" - this Moray, probably.

Jan Gampe
2023-01-10 08:44:14 +0000 UTCCan't remember to refill the printer? Guess he just talked himself out of one job in Claire's new regime.
Michael Bruner
2023-01-10 08:26:36 +0000 UTCBut it was fully loaded with paper as it sank
Bagge
2023-01-10 07:18:51 +0000 UTCAh yes, printers - the bastard children of fax machines and calculators...
Leak
2023-01-10 06:29:25 +0000 UTCClaire's Printer Maintenance And Resource Allocation Program (PriMARAP) will be studied by logisticians all over the world for it's efficiency and zero failure rate. Also the printer will fall through a hole in the floor and sink into the sea.

2023-01-10 06:17:55 +0000 UTCUnder Claire, the printer will NEVER be out of paper

2023-01-10 05:43:02 +0000 UTCBy golly if trees didn’t give their lives to contain 1k of plaintext per page (1 meg of info if it’s a big picture) then I’m not interested.
