As I've said before, printers are weird. If this Epson ink tank has a paper jam, there is no way to get it to continue printing without turning it off and waiting. The LCD tells me there is a paper jam, and it shows me, step-by-step how to clear it. There are nine or ten buttons on the front panel, but every one I press gets me the message "Invalid." Turning it off and waiting before turning it on is the only way to continue. Even then, I have to first clear the print job and tell it to print the remaining pages, or it will start from the beginning.
My other Epson sometimes acts like it's 100 years old. It can take several minutes to start up, and it can take another few minutes to start printing. The funny thing is that it's not consistent. Sometimes, it will start right up. Other times, I can have lunch while I'm waiting. Last week, it took ten minutes to shut down. Canon and HP printers have also behaved strangely.

Actually, it is most likely aliens. Good thing you moved when you heard it. If you had remained still, sitting in a dark room, they may have cut some parts off you like they do to cows. It is for research… a good cause.
