SUMit's
shift roster design trainings
are running well, from Dutch Gouda to Sydney down under.
Every participant receives a pretty handout with sheets in colour. I was buying ink jet cartridges by the dozen. So, once again, I followed Mike Leyvyssohn's advice and purchased a HP2600 laser printer. It was for sale on discount at van Rietschoten, at shopping centre de Keizerswaard in Rotterdam. This laser printer has been printing quite a lot. It took only half a year to empty most of the cartridges. |
Before my journey the ink cartridges were even almost empty.
So I ordered new ones: black, yellow, blue and red. I am back in Holland for only a few weeks now, but the printer has been busy as usual. I've already replaced the black cartridge. It looks like yellow will be next. While printing a bit of promotional material for route planning the printer stops. Replace cyan cartridge. |
All right, no worries. The printer gets a fresh yellow cartridge. Go for it printer! The machine won't start, how rude. Replace cyan cartridge. Huh, I just replaced that one, didn't I? Now did I mix up the old and the new cartridge? No probs, in goes the other cartridge. No, no success. |
Replace cyan cartridge.
This is driving me insane. The most heavy cartridge must be the new one. I scribble 'old' on the other with a marker. Now, that should end all confusion. I give the new cartridge an extra shake and off you go printing! No: Replace cyan cartridge. |
Now, this gets beyond a joke.
This cartridge is a few months old, but not used yet. Now, wait a minute. Cyan? Which colour is that? That is blue! And damn, the printer happily resumes working when fed with a fresh blue cartridge! And the old yellow cartridge worked all the way till yesterday. This was when the printer showed a new message: Replace yellow cartridge. Now, that is a instruction, clear even to a colour illiterate like me! |
