1993 June 29, Tom Fitzgerald, “RFC 1191 compliance”, in comp.protocols.tcp-ip (Usenet):I can see why it would be tempting to treat a smart printer controller as a special case: the data is going onto paper and will never be seen by software again; if the user sees a printo on the paper, he can have it re-printed.
2001 March 14, Jim Mercer, quoting Peter Eisentraut, “ Re: Week number”, in muc.lists.postgres.questions (Usenet):Most *English* calendars you have seen, I suppose. In Germany there is no such possible calendar. If you printed a calendar that way, it would be considered a printo. The same is true in most parts of the continent.
2005 September 23, Blinky the Shark, “Parsing Help”, in alt.fan.cecil-adams (Usenet):"I was informed by the doctor that the marshes here are still malarial, and the mosquitoes believed to have put paid to the thriving Greek colony of antiquity, as active as ever." ¶ Put paid? Might be a printo (but if it was, what was intended isn't clear), but I'm thinking I'm just having a brain fart.
