dumb deskjet prank

Discovered my IT guy has too much free time, having hacked the LCD message on our HP deskjet.

Then discovered it's not too hard:

Now I have it declaring "It's cheap paper".

This gag probably goes waaaaay back, but it's new here.

It's a software gizmo that lets you redo the "printer ready" status message on the little LCD on the printer.
