HP Color LaserJet 3600 Windows 7/8/8.1

Categories: miscellany

I honestly don't know why HP hates its customers. They assume I want to use USB to connect a business printer, or want ~140MB for a driver, or want some other print management software instead of just a driver.

So here you go. The HP Color LaserJet 3600 64-bit driver for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1.

The Importance of Order

Categories: miscellany, open source software

The order of things is important; even moreso when those things are command line arguments.

the venerable Blender default cube

After spending way too long (~30 minutes) trying to figure out why my background Blender renders were producing default cubes when that is clearly not what is in the scene, I finally looked at the console output and understood.

blender --background --python script.py myfile.blend

What this command does is tells Blender, "Load into memory as a background process and run script.py (which changes some settings and starts a render). Then load myfile.blend." Once the file is loaded, background Blender exits.

In the proper order:

blender myfile.blend --background --python script.py
