I do know that a Japanese person would believe anything a company tells them, and I do know few would take any initiative to find out any truth for themselves, and I do know my wife - lived abroad for a decade and love her though I do... is still Japanese.<br /><br />To recap, either I should have been able to print, and the locals and 711's website creators are idiots (plausible) or the people who sold them the printer but did not think to allow Word in other languages are idiots (plausible). You see what's common with both scenarios...Ἀντισθένηςhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06199983680204710885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8528686231765021097.post-74099322521459918482013-03-28T18:22:16.769+09:002013-03-28T18:22:16.769+09:00Yep words to live by.
