Waiting for About:Blank
About:Blank is the address in many browsers for a navigation placeholder page. It is normally 100% blank, as the name would suggest. However, some browsers may have some features to assist users in navigation, such as the “You’ve opened a new tab!” page.
At any rate, you shouldn’t have to wait for a “blank” page, and it definitely should not take over 30 seconds to come up, which is exactly what happened here.
This is definitely not the first or last time you’ll see this sort of glitch, but that still doesn’t make it any less funny. Of course, it does make you wonder how on earth computers calculate the time remaining for tasks…

client-error-not-possible
A very common error in the Mac OS X printing system. It is most commonly resolved by pausing the printer, and then resuming the printer and document you are trying to print.
Inconvenient? Yes. However, it’s still much better than having to reboot Windows, the typical fix for PCs with printer issues.
This most likely cause of this error is a compatibility issue with your printer driver, so if you get this error repeatedly, make sure you have the most recent version of your printer’s drivers installed on your machine.
