printers is demons that you can plug into a computer

Indeed, but 3D printers are tamed beasts. Sure things still go wrong but it's almost clear how to solve it.

Our regular printer states for two years now that I have connect a cable, but the only cable port on the printer is for power...

Didn't this just work when we had Centronics interfaces, or do I have rose-tinted spectacles?

I have an old "DOS 5 for Dummies" book somewhere that says almost exactly that.

@Nanos How many times did you trip over it?

@Nanos Keeping it for when you next encounter a Centronics printer across the other side of a room?
