Boo!

Control panel on HP Laserjet printer. Scary as Halloween. Out of control!

A whole morning wasted debugging various problems with my printer. Low on toner. No longer feeding paper. It grinds away and finally gives up. Latest software offers no way to cancel jobs. Oy!

The printer is five years old and I've been highly satisfied with it. My last HP laser printer lasted fifteen years and was still working when I handed it on. But maybe it's time to send this one to the graveyard for Halloween.

Two relevant quotes from Wikipedia:

Parkinson's law states: 'Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.'

Murphy's law, or the fourth law of thermodynamics, states: 'If anything can go wrong, it will.'
