So I recently bought a small printer - I think an Epson WF-110 - hoping to connect it to my Linux computer. I was worried because it can with a driver disk for Windows and macOS but made no claims of Linux compatibility. Once I figured out how to get it on my Wifi network (easy) it just appeared on Linux and I was able to print to it with ZERO setup on that end. Easy right? Nope. After sitting unused for a few weeks, it was being unresponsive. I tried turning it off, but the power button doesn't seem to do anything. Did I mention is wireless and battery powered for total portability? Unplugging it didn't turn it off. So I left it unplugged during a 2 week business trip to see if it will power up and function again when I get home. Assuming the battery will die by then.
TLDR: Older guy couldn't turn off a printer that stopped responding...
