Around about 1010h 09/08/2002, Samuel Flory emitted the following wisdom:

What I don't understand is why the misleading message is sent
instead of the printer driver stating that it has received an unknown printer
error code and printing the code number.
Out of curiosity, does there exist an error code that a printer can
assert that specifies that it is "on fire"?
