Sometimes I think it was a dumb idea to build the business world on top of Chrome and JavaScript.
And then I remember that IE and ActiveX existed.
Things never change.

This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!

And then I remember that IE and ActiveX existed.
I wish that was actually past tense everywhere.
Doubt. A printer does not start printing unless the whole job has been converted into post script for the print processor/print server. I would say someone just did not checked the generated document before printing and therefore did not noticed the missing graphic. You could pull the plug on your pc and the printer would continue the process, as long as he got a complete and valid post script.
If you want to avoid this, always export as PDF, check PDF and print from PDF. It is the industry standard since 35 years and post script is it for... idk... 50 years? We are talking early 80's here when Desktop Publishing go into overdrive mode. Things like that just not happen all the sudden. It is mostly a Layer 8 Problem.
It is mostly a Layer 8 Problem.
Damn, there's a printing stack now?
Maybe layer 8 is user layer.
