I spent 3 1/2 hours in technical hell trying to print out a tax form for Dad. I never did get it printed. He said not to worry about it and I won't. I'm not the one who waited until the last minute.
I didn't have any trouble printing it out last year, but that was last year. Things have updated since then. Multiple times, probably. And Gringo is just too old to be able to handle the updates very well anymore. The laptop ended up being no better help because it's a possessed Tiki Idol that will probably make me wipeout should I ever go surfing.
The whole thing pissed me off to no end, despite the heavy application of Monkees music during the ordeal. However, my mood was greatly improved after a time-out and some dinner that I didn't have to cook.
The most aggravating thing about the whole situation? I bet if I tried to download and print out that tax form tomorrow, it'd probably work.
'Cause that's how Gringo rolls.
