@Mad Marie: First you need to bring the NPC 12 bearskins, and then take a letter to their aunt... this is why the printer is always out of paper.

Daniel Rydberg

The previous paper was used to clean up the slippery slope.

Makes me feel better that I never really got mine set up. Wireless printer, but couldn't get it to connect. It was on sale for like 20 bucks anyways.

Josh

The review site Wirecutter did an article on which printer you should buy for home use, and after much research their conclusion was: none at all, if you can possibly avoid it. Most of their reviews are all about which product is the best, but the printer review was mostly about which one was slightly less unpleasant than the others.

The printer coroner's report: One sheet fewer and the floor would have held.

Standardization? It sounds like they are indeed consistent in one highly significant way.

Nicolas Demers

The moment they manage to procure coffee, they will also discover that they are out of paper again

Chrissy Hart

Out of coffee? AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Sean Morgan

As a business manager... this is an impossibility.

Daniel Drazen

Moray's signature is "TMI" for short.

Jekotia

As someone who used to work in IT... All printers are designed in hell, and can fuck right off. Long-term they are awful devices that need some serious rework and would probably benefit from better technical standardization across manufacturers.

@OldGoat: provided that one has printed prior to the power outage…

Harmony Petersen

To be fair, the easiest reminder you need to refill printer paper is running out of printer paper.

Matthew Foweraker

Cheaper to hand out and harder to elicity edit too.

OldGoat

Hard copies do tend to work better than computers during prolonged power outages.

Thomas A. Dennis

"printers are the fax machines of the 21st century"--now just hold on a dang minute here, Hoss. Even as someone who was into the idea of tablets _before_ Star Trek TNG, print still has its advantages. I'll cut off my rant here, but I could go on at length on this subject, oh yes.

Daniel Rydberg

Oh dear. It sure is a slippery slope. Maybe due to leakage by Moray?

Mad Marie

The moment they manage to procure toner, they will also discover that they are out of coffee.

Todd Ellner

Under Claire there will be truly paperless operations

Leak

Like I wrote a few strips back, it should be "AI LOAD LETTER" in Cubetown... :P

Mad Marie

better than NPC load letter…more difficult to get them to do it.

Dallas Hicks

"PC LOAD LETTER? WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN?" - this Moray, probably.

Jan Gampe

AI Printers - "I make printing *fun*"

Michael Bruner

Can't remember to refill the printer? Guess he just talked himself out of one job in Claire's new regime.

Bagge

But it was fully loaded with paper as it sank

Leak

Ah yes, printers - the bastard children of fax machines and calculators...

Justin

Claire's Printer Maintenance And Resource Allocation Program (PriMARAP) will be studied by logisticians all over the world for it's efficiency and zero failure rate. Also the printer will fall through a hole in the floor and sink into the sea.
