Or you could hide it someplace and only bring it out when you want to print that one label (so you can in the darkness bind them?).
In re wireless ... several years ago someone got the bright idea to buy a bunch of wireless mouses for the office computers. The guy in charge (whose knowledge of technology was, to put it generously, sketchy) had an intern do the software install. All went well for a while. And then the screaming started. Literally. She hadn't read the instructions closely enough to realize that they had to be put on different channels. Especially in a closely packed open office. So one person would move their mouse and someone else's cursor would go running across their screen.
Good times.
Literally
edited because I CAN spell, dammit
So wouldn't this mean that you could change the channel your mouse is on and continue to wreak havoc?
Not dot matrix, really, but I do miss printers that just f*cking worked.
And what halcyon era was this? You may remember how the Jeff Goldblum character in Independence Day managed to make his laptop talk to an alien computer? At that point in the movie, I burst into hysterical laughter, because I had spent the entire day trying to get my work computer talk to a printer, and both my computer and printer were allegedly built by humans.
There are a bazillion dudes packing up my stuff. Also, I just walked in to see how it's going and one dude was wearing Shane's Mickey Mouse ears. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
How scary and exciting, GC. I have to say that my coast will be delighted to have you and your family.
Printers make me cry.
I hope the move goes well, GC!
My mom was thoroughly convinced the house where she grew up had a ghost in it. It lived in the basement, and her dog refused to go down there and would often bark at the basement doors.
And what halcyon era was this?
Oh, back in the Pleistocene, when I had a computer that booted from a floppy disk and a dot matrix printer, and all I had to do to make them work was plug them in.
Even in the 1990s, I had a little HP printer that was perfect. When did technology get so complicated that nothing just fracking works anymore? It takes all afternoon and much cursing to set up anything new, at least for me.
Today's technology nightmare: trying to convince my external HD that I am, in fact, allowed to write to it. Usually just mounting it on a PC and ejecting it and then putting it back on my Mac works. But not today. And my normal backup EHD isn't working at all. *bangs head against wall*
To be fair to printerdom, I currently have a cheap b&w Samsung laser printer that works reliably now that I have figured out its somewhat persnickety paper needs. (It doesn't like good paper. It likes cheap paper.) My HP color printer is another story.
