Walked past my printer and found this in the tray:

I didn't print it.

Damnit! Damnit! Wrong forum.

AKcrab · Apr 4, 2011, 10:46 PM

Clearly this is a networking issue. Should I move it?

subego · Apr 4, 2011, 10:51 PM

It could get into religion. Definitely PWL material.

Well, it wasn't your cat, otherwise, it would have read halp.

Self-annihilation.

Perhaps someone kidnapped your colour cartridge and is holding it for ransom. (assuming it is an inkjet)

subego · Apr 5, 2011, 12:29 AM

It's a laser, which would presumably help with the self-annihilation.

What good are built in lasers if you can't fry yourself with them?

subego · Apr 5, 2011, 12:30 AM

Maybe it's color envy.

AKcrab · Apr 5, 2011, 12:47 AM

Ahhh.. A laserprinter. I believe it might be AppleTalk™ contacting you from the ethernet.

subego · Apr 5, 2011, 01:12 AM

Wow. That's actually kind of sad.

Poor little thing.

There might be a TRON connection here - trying to reach a User.

ps - whatever you do, don't stand in front of the laser.

Spheric Harlot · Apr 5, 2011, 02:23 AM

Is it a Nethernet printer?

Stop printing furry/Bieber slash fic, see if the messages go away.

Many years ago I was working on a printing issue. The guy was running some apps through Classic on OS X. Attempting to print from a Classic program caused his printer to flash for 5 minutes and then print just two tiny smiley faces. I reinstalled the driver, swapped cables, tried millions of things and each time is flashed for 5 minutes and printed two tiny smiley faces. It was maddening!

Turns out it was two bad extensions (remember those?) and once I replaced them all was well.

brassplayersrock² · Apr 5, 2011, 10:36 PM

The horizontal, or vertical kind?

subego · Apr 5, 2011, 11:33 PM

Depends on how you turn the page.

No. I have it on good authority that furries hate Justin Bieber.

As funny as this video is (I even started a thread about it), I can't shake the feeling it's the result of a seriously abusive owner.

Nah. I've watched other videos he's produced, and his other cat is more mellow. That female cat seems to hiss a lot.

My brother has a little female cat that will hiss when she chases her tail and bites it or even bites her own paw by mistake. She hisses at the slightest sound, and I *know* my brother doesn't mistreat his cats.

Oh, I have a cat who hates everything and everyone (except me) and hisses all the time, but it's a hiss. That cat was bringing it to the next level.

I've personally only heard that kind of sound from a full-on catfight, but I admit that doesn't mean much.
