Inkjets, was: Android printer recommendations

Same here.  I've been at it off and on since '84 in a variety of roles from
night shift drone operator to currently, systems engineer.  From DEC to EDS
to GE and a lot of other places in between.  VAX/VMS, OpenVMS, Windows,
NetWare, UNIX, Linux, etc., etc.   I no longer even touch hardware;  80% of
the machines where I work now are virtual.  And other personnel have become
the high priests who enter server rooms and actually touch it.  Management,
with one or two exceptions over the decades, has generally sucked, making
the PHB of Dilbert look brilliant and benign.

Depending on how the current gig pans out over the next year, this may well
be my swan song to IT.  I have one brother who's been at it over thirty
years and he is thoroughly disgusted and fed up with it, along with having
the worst ever boss of the whole three decades currently.  And what were all
those thousands of backups for, all those reports, all those database
queries, etc., etc.?

Getting too old and crotchety lately to put up with too much b.s., and since
retirement accounts have been lost or destroyed, and the kids are grown up
and gone, the pressure to toil in the masters' vineyards is much less.  I am
looking real hard right now on how I want to spend the remaining decade or
two of life.

But you guys have been great;  I began with Linux on Red Hat 6.2 a while
back and this group has never failed to be a source of information,
intelligence, wit and good-heartedness.

Carry on!
