If it didn't print the first time, it'll probably print the next 8 times you try. So go ahead, keep spooling up that document.

On a side note, there were about a dozen failed print jobs from July, and one from January 2007, ha.

Seriously, sheer weight of the queued documents will force them through the printer. TruFax!

Three times today I had to go into the same class and explain this to them. Grrrr.

Had that happen. :(

Crazy users... reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Homer gets stuck in the water slide. They keep sending kids down the tube to dislodge him.

...doesn't quite work.

I can't tell you how many times I have seen that exact thing. It boggles the mind the sheer stupidity I have seen in that regard. People are annoying.

I did a mashup of the print driver with a prime number finder. When a new prime number is identified, your print job comes out of the printer. So just keep incrementing the count, and at some point you'll be lauded for discovering a new very large prime, AND you'll have your precious powerpoint notes. Promise.

Heh, I did get a call from the garage downstairs, in a completely different part of the building, once because I had mistakenly sent a document to their printer, where it was stuck in the queue... (I was new and didn't know the printer names yet)
But at least I didn't send it multiple times!

(and I picked it out and everything was fine and dandy.)
