Try removing the in cartrige, and putting it back in, then un plug it and let it sit with the computer off, and umm *chat* for a few minutes, then plug everything back in and try again, try to print from word, or other apps.

What's the big deal with Asian girls? People don't fawn over Asian guys.... so I don't get it.

Yeah. Pics?

Those of you who saw it earlier can still get it by clicking on the link with Offline mode enabled in IE. And upload it on the AT pic services.

hank: I haven't re-subscribed yet. So I can't reply to you via PM.

So here's the reply:
I didn't like the girls that much. You are way cuter than them.

BTW, I should add that if these girls are like most girls, the fact that you're going out of your way to help them won't get you anywhere.

It's a good way to get stuck in "nice guy" friend zone, however. This will give you many more future opportunities to get taken advantage of. If you're lucky, they might string you along by giving false signs of interest along the way.

I agree with your first statement. I disagree with your second.

Going against your way is the perfect way to screw the crap out of yourself no matter what age.

"Nice guy" is a nicer way saying "dumb guys who don't know how to love and take care of themselves." Women, like many men, don't like whiny kids. Also like many men, some women like to have "friends" who they can ask for help when they get stuck.

IMHO: If Chubbz wants to fix the printer, he should go ahead and do it. I don't see why he should though without any rewards of some sort, unless he's looking to gain some more knowledge and experience through fixing other people's computers. If he expects anything from the girl from fixing a damn printer, he's already way past the stage of SOL.

I think we're more or less on the same page actually. The reason I decided to post it toned that way is because of the way Chubbz is phrasing things (e.g., "i have to fix it!! HELP!!!", "cuz theyre hot"). This suggests that he's doing it for the wrong reasons which will likely lead to disappointment.

Purge print jobs, clear buffer, clear cache, close spooling, or whatever it's called on that printer.
Turn everything off. Wait 2 minutes, turn on printer, turn on PC. Try to print from DOS first if possible, then from 'notepad' or 'Word'.
