Kink-os
We have a wireless printer that is sitting up in my little "office" area. For a long time I thought that it only printed on random occassions, whenever it felt good enough to print. I found out, after careful study, that it prints only in months that are numerically divisible by two, contain no "u" in their names and have more than 30 days. Also, it will only print the amount of sheets to correspond to the day and date. For example, it is Wednesday the 10th, which is then converted to:
Wednesday = 4 (counting aloud from week's beginning, Sunday being "1")
Second week of the month = 2 (which becomes the exponent, also known as "to the power of")
10th day of the month of September which is 9 = 10 *9
The formula is then seen as:
10 x 9 / 4*2
Written as: 90/16
And quite literally it will print up only 5.625 pages, no matter that you only wanted 2 pages or that you have 8 pages.
Of course, this would never work out because it is September which does not fit two of the three conditions, aforementioned.
To Staples!

A wireless printer or a network-connected printer (via an ethernet cable) that can receive print jobs from wireless computers?
You didn't mention it, but by your subtle descriptions I'm guessing that you're talking about a Brother black&white laser printer? I happen to know they are very reliable.
I'd almost guess that your problems stem from using an ancient operating system - maybe a very old version of OSX? 10.2? If so, I'd wager that poor printer software in that old system is causing the issue.
Not to be picky but shouldn't
10 x 9 / 4*2
look like this?
((10x9) / (4^2))
I like parenthesis.
PS: I'm going to the Ren Fair(e) this weekend. Wenches!
