1000 Pages and Counting

I guess when I was told a javascript script wasn’t working I should have listened. Instead I ignored the printer error for awhile.

But no, I had to find out for myself. I tested the script by printing a test page. The script ran and moved the document from one queue to another. An error message appeared in the queue, the print showed as 1 page, it stuck at rendering about 550kb out of 1.5mb, then nothing. I cleared the error and kept working on the script.

What I didn’t know was that on the copier the print was sent to it churned out 1000 pages of print error – those irritating one line, ‘gobbledygook’ characters of text.

Someone happened upon the copier, laboring under my insanity for infinity, and turned it off.

No one reported it – which is typical.

Another day in printer hell.
