Maybe I'll go by FedEx and get them to print it for me. Do you think they're open at 7am and still have a template for labeling beta tapes?

The best part is that I'm labeling a beta tape to provide a supporting image for a mini-fic I wrote, which is about VHS tapes.

Look, if you're dealing with VHS tapes that can alter the flow of history just by being watched, the LEAST weird thing you should expect is that sometimes they're beta tapes.

nope. it seems no matter how I configure the printer (and it's supposedly installed twice now) it doesn't show up on "printers and scanners"

okay I think the printer is literally broken.like, I've powercycled it a bunch, but it turns out it's not talking to the network, and it also won't let me run calibration or print a test page. it's like I'm locking up the firmware

@deavid @Foone It's not the Linux part, printers are the work of the devil and have been a problem for decades.No doubt next week they will power up the computer and there will be two working printer icons; without changing anything.
