I’ve mentioned before that printers are a hustle. They are the medium through which the drug is produced, the wrapping paper for the weed. The drug itself is the ink and without the ink the printer is useless. This is a fact often made clear to me when an form of ink vanishes from its shallow coffer. Presently my Canon printer is certain it needs yellow ink to print a black and white document. It is so certain, in fact, that it won’t follow any commands until I race out to the store and get some more expensive ink.
I cannot do that for a few reasons. One, if I leave the garage will wake the kids. 2) F#$k that printer and the companies that make similar products that get you on the comeback. Now I gotta run out to the store in the morning, making my day all jacked up and out of whack.
