Who doesn’t love a great steak? The perfectly cooked meat that melts in your mouth is incredible. But you won’t believe how one steakhouse is changing the game by using a 3D printer to create plant-based meats. You have to see it to believe it.
🖨️ Printer secret: Most printers have a “Draft mode” that uses less ink when you don’t need anything fancy. (Some call it “Economy mode” or “Fast mode.”) To try it, open a document or file, hit Print, then go to Properties or Preferences, and look for Draft mode.
Your printer tracks you
Doesn’t matter if it’s a dinner recipe or a confidential agreement. Every document you print contains a hidden code that traces back to you.

🖨️ Printer in a jam? Let’s fix that. Turn off your printer and unplug it to stay safe. Open the back panel and peek inside. See the stuck paper? Gently pull it out in the direction of the arrows (no yanking). Once it’s clear, plug the printer back in and power it on. You’re good as new.
Easy printer cleanup: Soak a piece of paper with rubbing alcohol (not too much — leave the edges dry), and run it through your printer’s roller to clean off the junk.
It’s a goldmine: Your printer stores copies of docs you’ve printed. If yours is spitting out random documents or your settings are funky, reset it to factory defaults. Unplug the printer, then press and hold the Reset button (on the back or bottom). While holding, plug the printer back in and turn it on. In about 20 seconds, lights will flash to tell you it’s done.
🖨️ Ink outside the box: Dust can cause unexpected problems with your printer. Open the paper trays, remove any paper and use a handheld vac to suck up the dust. You can also blow it out with compressed air.
