-
- Once upon a time there was a printer who lived in the woods. He was a
- lonely printer, because nobody knew how to configure him. He hoped
- and hoped for someone to play with.
-
- One day, the wind passed by the printer's cottage. "Whoosh," said the
- wind. The printer became excited. Maybe the wind would be his
- friend!
-
- "Will you be my friend?" the printer asked.
-
- "Whoosh," said the wind.
-
- "What does that mean?" asked the printer.
-
- "Whoosh," said the wind, and with that it was gone.
-
- The printer was confused. He spent the rest of the day thinking and
- jamming paper (for that is what little printers do when they are
- confused).
-
- The next day a storm came. The rain came pouring down, darkening the
- morning sky and destroying the printer's garden. The little printer
- was upset. "Why are you being so mean to me?" he asked.
-
- "Pitter Patter, Pitter Patter," said the rain.
-
- "Will you be my friend?" the printer asked shyly.
-
- "Pitter Patter, Pitter Patter," said the rain, and then it left and
- the sun came out.
-
- The printer was sad. He spent the rest of the day inside, sobbing and
- blinking lights cryptically (for that is what little printers do when
- they are sad).
-
- Then one day, a little girl stumbled into the printer's clearing in
- the woods. The printer looked at this curious sight. He didn't know
- what to think.
-
- The little girl looked up at him. "Will you be my friend?" she asked.
-
- "Yes," said the printer.
-
- "What is your name?" asked the little girl.
-
- "HP 4100TN", replied the printer.
-
- "My name is gnome-cups-manager" said the little girl.
-
- The printer was happy. He spent the rest of the day playing games and
- printing documents, for that is what little printers do when they are
- happy.
