TRWTF is that Justin would see road signs while telecommuting.
Admin
It is "you're" as in "you are welcome"...or is this some sort of meta-joke?
Admin
I don't have the printer but this was my exact thought when I saw it. They included the cable because it's a wireless printer and thus people wouldn't expect to need a cable. No WTF here.

Even worse, if you open it up, you'll find it's full of wires! Same thing with my supposedly "wireless" phone. WTF!
Admin
You mean Future Shop's sale model is not to sell overpriced crap to people who don't know any better? I had no idea.
Admin
I was going to say the same thing. Apparently Bus Logic likes to type in the dark.
Admin
You don't have to.
It's optional. It's generally just easier. However, you can use the onboard control panel and do it. It's just more time consuming.

I'm frits and so's my wife.

I told my Daddy and he said to say "you dun goofed" and "The Cyber-Police are on there way." I guess they back-tracked you.

Lots of engineers use Express for simple home coding projects. I have the full Visual Studio at work, but I'm not going to buy the whole thing for some minor coding at home, and I'm not going to install my employer's copy at home, either.
Admin
Imitating YOU? HA!!
You are the imitator!! I am the REAL fake frits!!
Admin
Yeah, welcome to .NET programming. It's always like that.
Admin
Actually, VS 2010 (and earlier editions) is licensed per user, not device, so you may be OK using it on your home PC. That being said, the express versions are perfectly functional for most routine coding tasks.

Let me get this straight - you think that information directed at idiots can only be understood by idiots? As I understood it, intelligent people can usually understand MORE concepts than stupid ones. Well, you may not be so clear on that whole hierarchy but you're passive-aggressive when you're confrontational and that counts for a lot in my book, good work.

Instructions for installing this wireless cable.
Admin
Fixed.
Admin
Reminds me of a song...
"I am my own fake frits"...or was it "I am my own grandpa"? Oh well...
Admin
Shut up already. We all know this is all the same person. As if anybody would waste time interacting with you.

Yeah, Canon wireless printer I have from a few years ago is the same. Gotta plug it in via USB to a real PC for the initial installation on the network.
I did like the idea that it's actually the submitter's first printer that came with an installation cable.

In case you can’t tell, this is a frits-up place. The fact that you insist on using your fritsdiculous handle clearly shows that you’re too young and too stupid to be using fritsNet.
Go away and grow up.
Sincerely, Frits fritstron
Admin
Mh. Trolling a troll who is abusing your name is fun. Trolling a troll who is accidentally the same person as you ... somehow, that paints a very sad picture. Somehow.
Admin
Didn't you just interact with fake frits? Or are you him?

yep, to do the initial setup of your wireless printer, you need to run the software with it hooked up over USB, so it is the setup cable to setup wireless. Smug fail.
Admin
That was exactly the point. I was aware it was used for installation, as I had already installed it when I posted this. :)
Alright frontpage!

Admin
I'm slightly confused...
Admin
^^ obviously the REAL frits ^^
Admin
[I actually counted my old printer cables here]
I found 4 LPTs and at least 4 USBs but it's hard to tell with the USB cables because they're just plain old USB A-B cables, I'm going by memory as to which ones came with a printer. Anyway, this still serves as a good indication that all my previous printer purchases have come with a cable.
Is this an American thing maybe? Supply the hardware but con the customer into paying extra for the luxury of actually using it?
Admin
My God! It's full of frits!
Admin
My Brother HL-2170W shipped configured to use an ad-hoc wireless network and instructions on how to configure my laptop to join the network, once I connected to it I was then able to reconfigure it to connect to my access point
Admin
