Those free shiny AOL coasters didn't print themselves.

Hint: no one cares about printing from online. This is a lesson we learned the hard way at Eye-Fi. Good luck.

Nothing happens. They just keep printing.

I encountered that last night when trying to get something printed. Nope. My money went to a different printer.

I'd be really curious to see some numbers on how successful this has been for them.

They can't print every bit.

Thanks for the links, but especially the printer one is exactly what I was talking about: They are all marked as unavailable on the site.

So, no compliance with printing industry standards. That's a pity.

Wife pointed this out. It's a bummer, they had really high quality prints.

Sounds like printers improperly accessible by internet.

… and you should get an award for them!

however there are two 'bugs': Blank Printer Fat Cat

Ah, all I remember was printers not working at the time. I didn't know they lost stuff. That sucks.

Plot twist: the printer accidentally added the [non-]blank page.

The printers refuse to print if you disconnect them from the internet.

That sounds like a printers error that could happen in any store.

And if it wasn't printed that fine in the first place, then you have a different problem.

They didn't confiscate already printed pages, they stopped allowing you to print more.

This might be intended behavior. If you try to print the deck, it shows the Goole Drive access request page.

I always knew that printers where sent from hell. This is just a confirmation. https://theoatmeal.com/comics/printers

And, code listings that are not printed out are not backed up. Lets see you accidentally delete toner from paper.
