    Oooh printers. My favourite is printing letters on to headed paper. One of the most effective ways to make me cry :eek::eek::eek:

    A possessed printer changing its mind 20 times over which tray it's taking the paper from and with which orientation. Some of them really do require an exorcism.

    Because it can sense timidity.

    Mine detects the screwdriver I keep near it.

    You can force it to take from a particular tray, especially needed if you have a custom size (usually labels).

    If you have a colour printer, often the easiest way is to print the headed paper out with your print job on plain paper.

    I have not managed yet to hype myself up to look at it again.

    Anyway, Shetland is on the TV so all is well for now.
