Re: "first read the fine forum thread until the end"
We cleared out my fathers house earlier this year, and we found folder after folder of printed manuals for his devices. I had no idea he was doing this, but I guess he wanted to be able to try to find things without having to bother anyone else, and felt this was the best way.
I often wondered why he was getting through printer cartridges as quickly as he did.
A bit sad, really.
