1. My computer often tells me the network printer has printed my documents.
Often that is simply not true. No idea where those lost print jobs go.

Perhaps to live with my unpaired socks.

4. They like to start giving you that message when you are low
rather than out. Printer companies make their money selling ink, not printers. So the more often you change the inks the better.
