Fighting the devil (trying to get my computer to connect to my PC so I can print zines in peace augh)

renkotsuban@gamedev.lgbt

Okay fuck it, I saved my zine PDF to a USB thumb drive and jammed that into my printer, and that worked. I still cannot for the life of me understand why my computer recognizes my printer and is properly connected, apparently installed drivers with no issue, but then silently drops all my print jobs without actually printing. But WHATEVER that is a problem for Future!Me to figure out because I got what I wanted, a neat little zine

renkotsuban@gamedev.lgbt

Worst case scenario is this is how I print things from now on because good lord I cannot be bothered to deal with any of that shit ever again. It kind of defeats the purpose of having it connected to the WiFi and it is a slightly more roundabout way of doing it but: it still beats trekking out to the conbini to print stuff out for 10y/sheet, so, I'll take it lol

tinybird@timetheft.social

@renkotsuban hah, I remember I had to resort to this last time I had a printer in my house

renkotsuban@gamedev.lgbt

@tinybird We got this printer less than a year ago and so before this, we had been schlepping over to the conbini to print over there using the same thumb drive method haha, so now I have cut down on having to walk outside at least

Anyway okay now that my computer and printer are talking to one another again () I am using this opportunity to treat the Hybrid Decker Zine Jam submissions page as a kind of printable zine/comics fair lol. Like look at this extremely good comic by wofi (wolf & ghostling)

"Strange" by Khirazekh is disturbing (positive) and sad and angry and painful and, man, eight pages with no words and yet the IMPACT of this. Mind the content warnings

The Internet Janitor himself showed up with a puzzle pack! The puzzles are randomized every time you generate the PDF/GIF so you could potentially play these puzzles forever!

It is now midnight so I should probably stop printing out zines and try to sleep, but look at my haul. If you have a printer, you can just make your own zine fair any time you want. Nobody can stop you

Anyway please make a zine and then send it to me so I can print it out and add it to my zine collection, I need it a lot, thank you

@renkotsuban Does that include zines that don't use Decker? >.> <.<

pestojaguar@sunny.garden

@renkotsuban Please feel free to print out my zines, (and share if you can!), they are free to DL on itch

They are full colour A5, so maybe check it out before you print as it might be quite heavy on your printer ink!

One way or the other, I hope you enjoy them:
