Here's a crazy thing. [View all]

Because my newish HP printer has given up the ghost before I even am into the second cartridge of ink.... I am having to find another way to print a 13 page important document. It's a Canadian government form that I have filled out online and must print. PDF. I printed it just fine with my printer that just failed. But now I need another copy. And so I copied the file to a thumb drive, inserted it into my daughters tablet, and tried to print it to her HP printer.

The forms printed. The information entered INTO the forms was blank. Nothing in those spaces.

Why in ever-lovin' heck would that be so?
