WANTED... a word to describe the way paper comes out of a printer

[MontyVeda]

now I'm overwhelmed! (which incidentally means the same as whelmed)

Chugged is a cracker... as is Stuttered and a great many others. Is there a quick and easy way to 'like' four pages worth of suggestions?

 

[MontyVeda]

Are you absolutely sure you need to describe the paper coming out of the printer at all? Think very hard about this.

I'm trying to be creative.

Actually i'm trying to get you lot to be creative for me.

Of course one could remove all the superfluous nonsense, but then it'd read like a manual.

 

[EltonFrog]

It Scooby skidded out of the printer...like a demented ghost that had a wet fart.

I could be writerer me.

Wafted

As in wafted here from paradise, nah, Luton Airport.

Anyway, back on topic, my words would include feckin expensively

Fair enough, but if you want to avoid your work sounding like it came out of a bog-standard creative-writing group, Monty, you could do worse than to look up Mark Twain's advice about adjectives.

And as for adverbs ...

(And smilies/smileys/emoticons ...)

Forced its way out

May the beauty of your words emerge from your printing device like Venus emerged from the spumous sea @MontyVeda.
Or deliver it in e-format

The printer beeped and flashed up "Error: paper jam" so John laboriously removed the smudged and misaligned page from the printer before hitting the printer with a four pound hammer and the printer fell to the floor with the sound of cracking plastic while John danced a jig around the office at finally getting revenge on his nemesis.

As @kimble once said over in t'other place

Violence is the only language printers understand. Well, that and Postscript, I suppose.

 

[PaulSecteur]

taking a slightly different angle...

"the printer defecated its word turd with a splat onto its output tray"

enjoy your tea.

 

[claudbutler]

The printer hurled out another page of utter tripe,and vowed never to do it again.

 

[Fnaar]

The paper penguined out of the printer.

Bit of alliteration there too

 

[Dayvo]

The paper penguined out of the printer.

Bit of alliteration there too

Yeah, but come on '... out of...'

 

[Fnaar]

Yeah, but come on '... out of...'

... And why not?

 

[Crackle]

The paper penguined out of the printer.

Bit of alliteration there too

The paper Penguined past the Portcullis, as Miss Goodbody, would, I'm sure, say.

 

[Fab Foodie]

Trust me (I'm an editor), it doesn't. Unless this is a crucial plot device it doesn't even need mentioning.
