I should add a page to my site to submit samples of keygens - I enjoy researching them because they can have unique malware strains that are completely ignored by the commercial AV vendors, since they tend to just flag it as a Keygen and skip actually analyzing them.

I know the answer is probably "the printing subsystem in windows is one of the oldest ones and a horror to peer into"

For some reason, the Microsoft inbox IPP driver maps the paper loaded to the closest "standard paper" available, and if none are close, it just gives up.

My label printer apparently prints business cards, and the tape on that printer is apparently A4 size.

I forgot to mention - when we finally got rid of those 24-port hubs, I used one for archery practice. Felt nice.
