For the past few days, I've been babysitting my customer's printers which have been suffering from indigestion and spewing out printouts repeatedly and erratically. Needless to say the printers and I were traumatised, and it boils down to the fact that the printers and the print server is a world apart (well, make that a continent). The eager-to-please print server couldn't detect if the printers have received the print signals and kept resending them anyway. As a result, we had to lengthen the wait time and teach the print server patience.

Maybe it's time for me to learn the lesson too.
