...very strange new printer we got in the office. Big ol' Dell color printer.

But here's what's weird: if you're printing double-sided, it prints the first side and spits it almost all the way out, then sucks it back in to print the second side.

That's weird.

A ruminating printer. Cool (y)

It reminds me of Jeff Goldblum in The Fly.

Wow. It's fast. I've printed out four times as much stuff as the other printer has shat out. (y)

I've never seen a printer that does double sided documents, so that just sounds all around cool.

Yeah -- both of our main printers do that. But the HP black and white one is so loud and clunky and slow when it does it... I hadn't tried it on the Dell because I assumed: color printer, double sided... this'll take forever.

That'll show me.

i wish i had a double sided printer, i print out so much stuff thats like, i just want to have a hard copy of it and i dont need it to actually look nice or anything. but like, i dont even have a printer so i have to use the crappy school ones that cost money.

whenever i buy a printer of my own, i'll look into this whole double sided buisness. by them there will probably be a decive that makes printers obsolete though. like a paper thin computer that you insert into a paper sized slot and the page is digitally transfered and you can fit like a million documents on them and scroll though and it will seem convenient but really it will just be a hassle cause thats usually how technology works out.

thats how the printers at school do it


everything is automatically printed double sided, so half of my quota ends up wasted on double side printed reports that i won;t ever want to read again
