Legend has it that when printers were first conceived, the God of Printing decreed three fundamental laws for them. The first law is that a printer may only “cook” fried noodles once per month—so on the first day of every month, the very first print job should be a bowl of fried noodles, ensuring that all subsequent prints go off without a hitch. (P.S.: If failures keep occurring, consider whether your initial print wasn’t performed with enough reverence. I usually give the machine spirit a little shake during printing—it loves to jiggle, too.)
