Printer Ran Out Off Ink And Project Is Due Tomorrow

jennifer • 25 October 2012 at 10:43 PM

I have a Social Studies report due tomorrow and I was printing it out tonight. When all 19 pages came out, I nearly died! The letters were barely visible and the printer was making an odd some like a dieing elephant. It's due tomorrow and our teacher is REALLY strict. I suppose I could come up with an excuse but what to say? I really need some advice right now.
Here's my brilliant ideas that don't go so brilliant so tell me which one:
Give him the report and tell him what happened.
Same as above but tell him that you will get it in on Monday (you won't get full grade. You would get an 70% which will totally mess up your grade)
Tell him that you don't have it and that the printer broke.
Be absent tomorrow (mom would kill me).

You could email it to your teacher if you have their email address.
Or have your mom write a note explaining the problem.

Go to the public library and print for about a dollar, or print it at school in the library for about a dollar. That is pretty much all I could do, but the teacher email or note is a good idea too.

You could also bring it in with a flash drive and have the teacher take it and load it onto their computer.
However, this has a possibility of being complicated. I suggest you take another suggestion. ROFL. xD

@qwaszx @clayosaurusrex @keenfoot Thanks but it's the middle of the night here and the teacher can't print anything in his computer, I don't know his e-mail and when my friend used my flash-driver, she pulled it out without doing the safety removal thing and now it's broken. I COULD try the flash-drive thing if it works. I'll try it now. I can print it in my school library and give it to him later but any more ideas in case this fails?

@jennifer
Double-check to see if it's truly damaged?

@jennifer

You could always BUY ink...

Staples is always open...

@keenfoot It's not but it crashes on me when I really need it. I'll screen-shot an image of it if you'd like.
EDIT: Did I tell you it's the middle of the night here? Also, my mom isn't very happy about it because when she came home last night (at 11:00), she found:
her daughter typing her report while chatting on Egg Cave.

@jennifer
Hmm, take pictures of your project with a camera or something and give it to your teacher. xDD

@keenfoot It's an essay. We take notes about Social Studies in class and bring the whole month's notes, typed up, on the last Friday of every month (which is tomorrow). Mine's is 19 pages so...

@jennifer
Get your mom to call your teacher and tell him that there was a problem with your printer and you cannot print it out so he'll understand, or sit there and write it all out on paper.

I don't have any other advice, 'cause I'm home schooled. :/

jennifer • 25 October 2012 at 11:03 PM

@candyluver6789 *poke* My parents are very upset with me and I just managed to get an acceptable in my favorite subject. How bad do you think I'm in?
@keenfoot I GOT THE SCREEN-SHOT

@jennifer

Why would your parents be upset if your printer was out of ink? It's not your fault you ran out of ink. :/


EDIT: Oops, just read the post about how it's in the middle of the night and all.

Hm, oh... /:

jennifer • 25 October 2012 at 11:18 PM

@keenfoot Yeah, the thing pops up (as Mixed Content) but the other one pops up as well. I'm trying to save it on but my Flash-drive isn't on the list.

candyluver6789 • 26 October 2012 at 12:11 PM

@jennifer Oh. Well, I'm sorry, can't help you there and also sorry I left last night, the computer was gonna log me off in only one minute, so yeah. :/

@qwaszx @clayosaurusrex @keenfoot @fuzzykins412 @candyluver6789
Just realized that I haven't told you the results. I went to school the next day and brought my paper as prove that I did it and told him this,"
I printed my notes last night and my printer ran out of ink."
Him: *Looks at me with him PEIRCING (Blue) eyes* *takes off his glasses* Oh no. *Flips through the pages* Hm... I can see that you did it. Very good... *continues to read (even though you can't)* Can you go home and print them and get them here by Monday?
Me: Yes, sir. I'll do that.
