Regeneration

Regular readers may remember that the Gorse Fox was disappointed that, after several years excellent service, his last Canon printer expired. Not totally – the scanner still worked – but anything that required printing was out of the question. A bit of a drawback for a printer.

He replaced said printer – and the new Canon multi-function printer took over the sterling work of its predecessor.

Today, due to an old setting in a browser a file was sent to to the expired printer. It sprang into life and printed the file.

Evidently it had not expired, it was not defunct, it had not ceased to be, it had not shuffled off this mortal coil, it had not gone to meet its maker, it had not become part of the choir invisible, nor was it pushing up daisies – it, like a Norwegian Blue – was merely resting.
