Re: Printers are the bain of MS's world

yeah but in the USA, corporate taxes are due in 4 days, and personal ones in a little over a month.

It's typical that you need to print out at least SOMETHING to process them, even when you e-file.

Breaking printers *NOW* [especially when THE! UPDATES! ARE! FORCED!] is likely to create a LOT OF CHAOS.

Unfortunately this year the corporate tax software won't even install on Windows 7, and there WAS NO CLOUD OPTION. I'm glad I (held my nose and choked back the bile) and chose 8.1 instead of 10 for the VM (running on that same Windows 7 machine) that I used for processing it. God help us all if those tax programs REQUIRE Win-10-NIC some day...
