Fixed my printer...

My printer has been screwed up for a couple of weeks. I don't use the inkjet hardly at all, and it's extremely old as printers go. So, when it started feeding paper extremely crooked, I figured it was just in its death throws. I needed to print something and have it look somewhat legible, so I decided to take a peak inside and see if I could find anything wrong. Well, problem solved.

Apparently the cat knocked a dental floss dispenser off the desk and it landed inside paper feed of the printer.

I know you need to clean your print heads periodically, but trust me, they don't need flossing...
