Also, on a positive tangent, the long since lost manual for my printer has a section on cleaning the lone faulty part: the pick-up roller. Thank the Internet Archive for preserving the needful things their makers don't.

re: My HP Laserjet 1100
What really blows my mind is that Unix & Linux can print to it just fine on brand new hardware because HP themselves wrote & released cups drivers for it.

HP once made tanks for soho printers. Now they just make disposable hardware with quickly abandoned support.
My HP Laserjet 1100
has printed an average of 5 pages a day for 25 years & counting.
My latest Unix workstation can print to it just fine.
My latest Linux workstation can print to it just fine.
My latest Windows workstation can't print to it at all because a compatible driver doesn't exist. No compatible driver exists because HP removed downloads for Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, & 10, & Microsoft removed it from Windows Update for 10 & 11.
But if I downgrade to S2K3, XP, 2K, or NT4, I can print to it.
Excellent quote about Nazis
"Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly, and focused on happier things than 'politics'. They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. You know who weren't nice people? Resisters." — Naomi Shulman

@dona did a wonderful job with the art @iffybooks is the coolest place ever and helped so much with printing. I legit can't wait to go back—
