[K12OSN] Very frustrating!

[Conrad Lawes]

At some point and time you will have to determine how much is your time and
frustration  worth.    A network-able laser printer can be bought for about
$150 or less nowadays.   Why not just pick a printer that you know will
work?  IMHO,  usb-only printer as not well suited for more than a couple of
users especially when they attached to  Windows machine.
