Well, one day, I was helping a young friend print a musical score. We were using her laptop and my printer and we kept hitting print and all sorts of buttons but nothing would happen except occasionally a blank sheet of paper would emerge. We chalked our failure up to bad software-hardware communication. Days later I realized that one of the printer’s cables had been improperly connected. I fixed it and began printing documents that I needed for work. The printer chugged out a page but on the page was not the text I was trying to edit, instead I saw musical notes. Now you may have picked up from this and other posts that I am not an especially technical person. I knew I needed to clear the printer queue but I had no idea where to start. Eventually, I figured it out. By then, I had many pages of music. What to do? Hmm…
I still have three sheets left which I think I will save for a future “musical moment.”
