Can someone who speaks printer-driver-ese explain to me the difference between an HP driver that's PCL5c and one that's PCL6? I'm very confused.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Basically it's the language the computer uses to talk to the printer.
If your printer is having problems with PCL6, it's best to use PCL5 or PCL5e.
Most printers will function fine with the PCL5, but the PCL6 is the newest version and still evolving.

Thanks DCJ. On your advice, I downloaded the PCL6 and it's working perfectly so far.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is a naive and foolish question, but does there exist a program that allows you to run SQL queries directly against an XML file, as opposed to importing the XML data into a database first?
I ask because there are many times I'd love to run an SQL query against my iTunes music collection.

They're working on something called "XQuery", which is an SQL-like language for XML. Most implementations are in the experimental stage.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does Dell have stores? If I need the photo cartridge for the Dell Photo AIO Printer 922, is there anywhere I can get it other than their web site?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
They often have kiosks in malls.

Hmm. Crap. Now I'm all confused. I had my iPod on manual update. And then I thought "ooh, I'll just tell it to only automatically update my "Purchased Music" playlist, since that's generally where my new music is coming from anyway". And somehow, doing that meant it took away all my other playlists!! No fair!! Now I'm reupdating my iPod. Which I can't tell if that means all of my songs will be doubled. ARGH. This is not helping my hangover headache.
