Slammage in abundance, Dahlink, fret you not.  
Tell the little bleeder, in detail, what you intend to do to its most intimate circuitry, and how slowly, then switch it off to have a good old think to itself overnight.

Would you care for a small Toner as a chaser, Dere?

Er well, it’s a sort of rinse to add a tinge of a different unnatural colour to chemically abused hair, sometimes: but mainly ittiz printer-fodder, and I have thrust wor Chatelaine willy-nilly into _The Goon Show_.

Printers is the troublemakers of the computin’ world. Show 'em you’ve got a big stick (cigarette lighters also good) and they generally behave.

I think looking up details of new ones and talking about getting one might shake some obedience into the beggar.

Very Tempting, Armers

The printer itself was not expensive, & does the job, but the sodding inks aren’t cheap, & guaranteed not to be the same code number on a Noo one… 😉

I am not doing anything else remotely Techie today/tonight

The usual ploy—flog the hardware cheap then keep raking in the money on the consumables. A particularly nasty trick is preventing them from working with third-party cartridges.

For the _bijou_ church…

Seriously, that’s more likely to be a setting in whatever doc you’re printing than anything to do with the printer (though it _may_ also be set on the printer). You’re not inadvertantly printing 2- or 4-up, by any chance?

I’m sure that it was an incorrect setting on the Waptop Joe , & I ‘unpressed’ a button, & with 1 bound, it was free…

Azzitwere

The Waptop has been seriously sluggish this week

That’s prolly my fault too…

I know people who buy a new inkjet printer every few months because it’s cheaper than ink.

I have a boring old laser printer. Important tip: if you spill toner, do not try to hoover it up.
