Why the fuck don't the manufacturers of electronic devices provide adequate
hard copy documentation of their products? So I got this new printer and
there was no place to plug in the power and USB cords on the product.
Luckily, my significant other showed me that I had laid the printer down on
the table incorrectly and I was trying to find receptacles on the bottom of
the printer rather than the back. But then the damn thing wouldn't work
when he and I finally set it down properly. There was a piece of orange
plastic deep inside the cavity where the drum resides and this needed to be
removed.
The user manual said nothing about any of this. It was written in Vietnam,
probably by a former Viet Cong for all I know.

Probably because people don't read it :-( When there IS a little
brochure it's always of the 'quick start' variety, with the real manual
(such as it is) on either a CD or the manufacturer's website.

Definitely should have been an instruction about that.

Congratulations, Bev. You've just responded to a spammer and troll who is
also one of resident psychopaths and gutter turds that resides in the
alt.social-security-disability cesspool.

A spokesperson for 60s band 'the animals' has today made a
public apology saying they were mistaken and there isn't a
house in New Orleans after all.

The use of juvenile foul language would be the first extremely obvious
