Three-quarters of an hour before I leave is not a good time for the printer to get stubborn about printing something I need to take with me. It did it eventually, but I had to fuss with it. Maybe it's time to think about a new one; this one is seven years old and I'm mildly surprised these days that I can still find the cartridges. Then again, maybe it's the desktop's problem -- at nearly five years, it's a little cranky too, and hasn't taken very gracefully to the grafted-on wireless connection. I don't want a new desktop, though; if anything, I'd rather get a lighter laptop for laptop purposes and declare the current lump a desktop.
