My printer jammed right before a closing, cost me 45 minutes at the office on Peachtree Street

Last Tuesday I had a 10am closing and my HP laser printer decided to eat a sheet of paper just as I was printing the final settlement statement. I spent twenty minutes digging feed rollers out of the thing, then had to drive to the FedEx on Piedmont to print a backup copy. Has anyone else had a key piece of tech fail at the worst possible moment? What did you do?

Forty five minutes is nothing, I once spent an hour at a Staples on $200 in expedited printing fees because my laptop blue screened at 9:58am for a 10am closing. @vera_palmer you definitely win the worst timing award though, batteries never fail at a convenient moment do they.

My car battery died on the way to a closing once, talk about bad timing.
