Admitedly I have thumped a few pieced of technology in order to “make it work.” However, there is a technique made famous in English boarding schools (sending one to Coventry, I believe) that has become popular in Greece. This “discarded” printer was found wanting of ink, and inconsistent in output, and found itself on a roof top in Santorini, thanks to Shaun for sending me this picture!
Where else would you expect to see a printer than the roof top of an apartment block in the middle of a paradise island!
