I just completely embarrassed myself in front of my 5-year-old for failing to get the printer to work... she is now VERY skeptical of my computer skills.

Troubleshooting this Canon Pixma and very eager to get it to work to restore my honor and dignity.
Hope you're having a better day than me

Update: it's working!!! Now I need to call my child upstairs to witness this

@_elena printers exist to tech people humble and not think they're gods. Look Edgar happened when tech Bros got iPads and stopped printing!

@_elena I probably am having a better day than you, in the sense that nothing is actually happening here. But let me say that there is often no greater challenge than a recalcitrant printer. if you do battle and lose, you can still hold your head high, and use it as a teaching moment for your five year old. "Some problems, like this printer, are much harder then they look, and some are much easier. Experience helps you learn which is which."

@_elena printers are just like that, basically all defective by design. It's not you, it's the darn machine. This is why entire movements, like free software, have started from a stubborn printer.

@_elena It’s important for kids to see us fail and flail and work through a problem. Doesn’t make it ante easier!

@ruisan this was really cathartic and satisfying to watch, thank you
