but the moment I fucking select just a small number, send THOSE to print, wait for it to spool up, wait for it to slowly print them all, then wind down, then select a new batch, having to set up the print options EACH AND EVERY TIME I DID SO, more than doubling the time this takes, it printed out all of them JUST. FINE.
FINALLY
it fucking
it finally fucking worked.
finally
fucksake, why . why are printers so goddamn awful.
turns out
none of the pictures were corrupted. it just decided, randomly, that if I tried to print all of them, you know, so I wasn't sat there for ages doing each page of four individually, it would just send a few lines of ascii garbage instead and waste like eight sheets of paper on this bullfuck before it would jam and crash the printer.
windos 10 why are you so awkward about anything to do with networks you were supposed to make this shit easier but no you made it arcane and obtuse and completely fucking RANDOM whether it works or not
