"Noooo (Mental Printer)"

I was trying to print off some application form for something.

At first my printer sat idle, blanking me.
I switched it off and on again.
It printed a small blue scribble in the corner of every page.
I cancelled the print job.
It kept going.
I cancelled everything.
It kept going.
I switched it off then on again.
It did a colour test thing, then printed pink scribbles in the corner of every page.

10 minutes on and it's just stopped. Saying it's out of paper (it isn't - I kept putting the stuff with small scribbles on back in).

I pressed the load paper button.
Now it's doing the pink scribbles again.

What do I do?

My Epson has been flawless for 3 years.

Yep. Are they known for being crap?

Epsons are good for photo pictures, although a bit loud.

oh god, the horror of epson printers!!
man, i hate them so much!

What type is it? Epson by any chance?

Maybe the ink cartridge is running out.

It stopped when I switched off the computer.

When I switched it back on it tried to print the actual document, only with those boxes instead of letters. Only this time it let me cancel.

Then I sent it through again, and it sort of worked.
Everything is legible now, just with horizontal blue and pink lines...

Ah well.

Try asking some of the nerds in the web design forum.

I was thinking I'd drop-kick it through the window.

But I'd like to stop it without breaking stuff first.

Help?

Headbutt it.
