Ah, the joys of perl and HP printers....

[ibneko]

Came across this old gem:
http://kovaya.com/miscellany/2007/10/insert-coin.html

In short, there's a small perl script that will talk to your HP printer and allow you to set a custom "Ready Message".

So examples include:
- Insert Coin
- Out of Cheese
- Your print request was deemed unworthy of my time
- Remove squirrel in tray

Speaking of Perl: SJ Games is looking for a Perl wrangler. Thought I'd pass the info your way. :)
