The Cursed Printer

The Cursed Printer

Saturday, September 25, 2004

To save money, I printed the precut pages on my inkjet. This proved to be a most heinous mistake. A hair, lint, string, an oh-so-tiny strand of half-dried ink. Something started leaving streaks across the page. I deep cleaned the heads. Purchased new print heads. Cleaned the printer parts. Still didn't take care of it. At last, I folded a sheet of hand-made paper in half-the brown bumpy stuff with leaves and yard debris pressed into the pages-and ran it through the printer 10 times. That finally did the trick two wasted days later. Should have went to Kinkos.
