What a waste of time...!

Seriously, I enjoy my studies a whole bunch... but this is a major waste of time! Even though I do several other things whilst the proces keeps going, it still annoys me how time consuming this is. And if I am trying to be kind to the environment I will have to be alert when it's done so I can flip it over and get the other side done aswell. Two and a half hours of printing college material (and I am only talking the stuff that is obligatory!)... what a waste of time. I would happily pay extra if they would print it for me . In the mean time I can get some serious studying going without that noise-are-us printer device being on for hours and hours! Do you have to do a lot of printing for work, college or some other reason? How do you pass the time whilst your printer is active?

Yes, I had to do a LOT of printing for my studies. It was VERY annoying and, when I return to college in the spring, this annoyance will be back once again. It frustrates me! While the printing is going on, I do work for my job so I can make the best use of my time as possible. I'm able to write in notebooks in another part of the room so the printer's noise doesn't distract me too much.

That's a good thing that you had some room to get away from the printer. Unfortunatly my room is pretty small and my printer pretty loud . There is no way to rule it out unless I am moving to another room, and those are equally noisy living at home with a two and a half year old foster brother. It indeed is frustrating, but it's a neccessairy and so an offer we have to make. Good luck in college!
