Fixing

It’s 2021 and lots of us are not only working from home, but in need of empowerment. Thankfully, there’s fixyourownprinter.com.

Taking a laser printer down to its circuit boards is not for everyone. It helps if the thought of following minute instructions and keeping the screws for each thing inside the upturned part makes you salivate as it does me. But when the first jam-free pages roll crisply into your tray, you will feel just a little bit like James May. Who if you’re not familiar, does this sort of thing for fun. I get it now, sir.

May you find your own reassembling Zen.
