plug and play?
excerpted from a work e-mail containing some instructions for tricking windows into thinking it has a printer when it doesn't. this, of course, does you no good for printing things, but it enables you to send things to the printer in a software demo without getting nasty error messages on your screen.
2) From the Control Panel, Go to> Printers and Faxes
3) Select> Add a Printer
4) At the Welcome Screen, select> Next
5) Select "Local Printer" (the default) and UN-Check> "Automatically detect and install my plug and pray printer"
6) Select Next
note the emphasized word in step 5. that's my emphasis, of course. i don't know if my boss sent me that to be clever or if it was just a typo, but it put my keyboard at risk of a coffee shower this morning. i laughed so hard that i had to come share it with you.
