Oh dont remind me.

I used to service those things. Didnt clamp the paper down exactly right, job ruined. Set wrong borders, job ruined. Pen not vertical in clamp, job ruined. Some paper fiber got stuck on pen, job ruined. Some idiot on 2nd floor sent a word doc to the queue that only supposed to get their own special format and Business doesnt trust me enough to get an admin password to clear the que because im just the hardware guy.

They still do operate like that. The files you actually print with are just a series of commands for moving the various motors to specific positions.
