I am always a little nervous the of Jack Russel, as from experience they Yap constantly, jump up constantly and get under your feet. I have always liked bigger dogs as they don't. just my tuppence worth!.

From my experience Jacks are intelligent and loyal and the majority are not yappers; neither of mine were. Though one was an recidivist, with little or no redeeming qualities*, they are great little dogs.

We had a English Springer Spaniel and it was really nice; but we were not prepared to have a dog.
The thing is that you have to train it and train yourself to train it.
I'd rather be phishing!

We have had a series of Pugs over the years, and liked them. We currently have two, both from rescue missions - one is blind in one eye, deaf, and has some health issues but still is the happiest thing around. Neither is yappy (although they will make sure any visitors are checked out as to the owners of the land), and both are calm, cool and collected.

We have a Dachshund. Lovable little fart he is. The only time we hear a sound out of him is if he's hurt, or if he's dreaming (he yips in his sleep occasionally, it's adorable.)
The breed in general is rather well tempered, and can be trained (as ours is) to be quiet. They're also quite loyal, though ours seems to be more codependent (he's practically attached to my wife's hip!)
The only drawback to the breed is that they can be a bit food-obsessed. Ours will be 13 years old in a few months, and he still runs around like he's high on speed when it comes time to eat.

Hello all,
Let's say we do have a nice professional printer that handles papers in a super nice way but it looks like the black toner for that printer has finished aaaaaaaand drumroll, nobody distributes toners of that super brand. Apart of course of the normal distributor who will need 4 days to get a new toner... Usually they send toners as the same printer tells them it is running out of ink, but something has gone wrong with the communication and they have not received any feedback from the printer...
Well, in order to allow people to print, we do have an old brother printer and I've unpacked it, set it up and started it... only to see that the black ink toner was also empty.
No worries we've gone to a local reseller and got a new toner. Replaced it and now we have a nice message on the printer display which reads "impossible to print, read the manual".
And the manual says: "some mechanical issue has happened, just unplug the printer for some minutes and try it again".
This is now an infinite loop... Anyone here has an idea on how to solve the Brother printer issue?
As always thank you in advance!

Joan, is the Brother printer connected to a network?
If so, can you login to the Web console of the printer and check to see if there are any logs you can read to see what the problem is?

Hi Michael!
The only thing I can see is the "status monitor" which shows me a small log with only one entry:
---------------------------------------
Date/time | Message | Status
---------------------------------------
now | Impr. Impossible | 70300
---------------------------------------
And it doesn't look Internet offers a lot of help regarding the 70300 message...
Any idea?
I'm planning to make a firmware update (which I'm sure it won't update a thing but who knows).

Gotta love printers; for a business model that seams built around giving away printers to sell the ink you'd think it'd be easier to get new cartridges. We recently had to retire the printer in our lab because the old toner we had stored had gone bad (I'm guessing whoever was supposed to turn the containers over every X months either decided he didn't need to or got laid off without handing the duty off) and because it was old and they could the only vendor still selling toner for it wanted $1200 for them. 
the new printer works, but it's a soulless desktop model; it's predecessor was a floor model that looked like R2D2 after a binge on the candybox that normally fuels all work in the lab.

What kind of printer is it? You may want to try Brother Solutions Center[^] with the model.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

A three year old boy is sitting on the toilet. He's been there a while, before his mother gets concerned and goes to check on him.
She peeks round the door, and he's sitting there with a picture book. But every ten seconds or so, he puts the book down, grips the toilet seat with his left hand and gives himself an almighty bang on the head with his right.
"Billy, are you alright? You've been here for a while now..."
"I'm fine, Mommy. I just haven't gone number twos yet."
"Ok, no problem, you can stay for a few minutes yet. But why are you hitting yourself on the head?"
"Works for ketchup."
