Ode to Joy on a Printer
Ode to Joy on a Printer [video]
I was looking for a video for Ode to Joy on YouTube to post for FAF*. I was hoping for a Clockwork Orange tie in too, but what I found was this video. And it is so much more.

As brief as I can be, when printers print they whine. That whining is, after a fashion, a series of notes. Print the right thing and you can play music.

So someone down at HP did. This is supposedly a self test Easter Egg on HP Scanjet printers and this is how you make it happen.


*4th Movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony. But you knew that, right? picked by pocksucket 2 months ago
