- It's interesting, the features people dream up in this
- age of technology....
-
- We have a Sun SPARC laser printer which even has a feature
- to print error messages like : "Printer low on toner" on a
- piece of paper, in addition to those idiot lights on the
- front panel.
-
- The best was last week: I was printing and noticed the printer
- stopped and on came an indicator light. I looked and realized it
- was out of paper. So I reloaded it, and sure enough, out comes
- the next page with:
-
- "Printer out of paper."
