Printers are moody and tempermental like artists. After installing Vista at work, my computer can no longer talk to any of our shared printers.
ME: Damn, I need to print a boarding pass! I guess I'll try my HP C4480 Photo Printer/Scanner at home.
HP C4480: Black is such a dreary color! I prefer bright bold vibrant colors, full of life and anticipation! Greens, reds, yellows: they are the springtime! Speak not to me of black.
ME: But I need a boarding pass.
HP C4480: If you were to paint it on a flower, I would print it for thee.
ME: I don't think the United scanners read flowers.
HP C4480: I will not compromise my art! I shall print it in a pale grey-blue, which is the color of the skeleton THAT IS ALL I SEE WHEN I LOOK AT YOUR FACE.
I really hope United's gate scanners are high-contrast.
