@matigo If you see brass chains hanging from them, touching the paper, you know you have a fast printer. (Discharges the static electricity generated by how fast their slew rate is)
And, in answer to the "Why are they using a line printer in 2018?" question..
They print upwards of 25,000 paper invoices at a go. Nothing else will do that quicker and more cost-effectively than a full line printer.
Experiencing the weird mixture of guilt and relief that comes from laying into a field technician.
Is sent, as a line printer specialist, to a customer to diagnose a problem with a line printer.
Tells customer, "It's the software". I ask, "And you are basing this on what?". He says, "The printer is fine". I ask, have you attempted to bypass the software in question and print something else". "No". "Have you eliminated the obvious things like connection issues?" "It's the software". "Have you tried another cable?" "No". "Did you, in fact, show up empty-handed, press the "Self Test" on the printer and make your pronouncement?" "It's the software" "Are you the horse whisperer?"
Long story short, he was run off. The cable and the computer sharing the printer were eliminated as suspects. (Guided the poor office manager through the requisite hunting down of cables and what-not. Garbled print persisted. just random gibberish)
New line printer ordered.
Line printer company called to apologize and assures me that the tech in question will not be used again. (Customer called to complain)
@phoneboy Requires high temperatures and fast searing to remain tender and not dry out.I'm making myself hungry just talking about it.
MacBook attempts to reboot and install an update after explicitly being told I do not want automatic updates. Then it pulls this crap. I’m trying to work here. This will not do. It has effectively lobbied to be replaced.
Inbox being innundated by "Can the new Air and Mini save Apple's momentum?" articles.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say, "No".
