+====OS X Annoyances====
+===Change default application===
+Suppose you want all .xlsx files to open with LibreOffice instead of Numbers.  Do the following.
+  - Find a file with the extension (.xlsx), right click, and Get Info.
+  - Under Open with, open the dropdown, find the application you want to open this type of file (LibreOffice), and select it.
+  - Click the Change All... button.
+  - Confirm that you want to make the change.
+From this point on, all files with the same extension will open with this application.
+===Reset Printing System===
+If something goes wrong with printing, for example you can't add a printer that you used to be able to use (e.g., Samsung 2830), reset the printing system.  If you reset the printing system, you will
+  * lose all print queues and pending print jobs
+  * remove all printer preference files
+  * removes all printers currently in the Printers & Scanners preference pane.
+To Reset Printing System:
+  - Launch System Preferences
+  - Select Printers & Scanners
+  - In the Printers and Scanners preference pane, place your cursor in an empty area of the printer list sidebar (where the printers are listed) and right-click; select Reset Printing System from the popup.
+  - You're asked to confirm.  Press Reset.
+  - You may need to enter administrator password or finger.
+The printing system will be reset and you will need to add back your printer.
+===Determine IP address of Samsung M2830DW printer===
+  - Turn device on
+  - Press and hold the Cancel (X) button till green light blinks 5 times, then release
+  - Output is printed. On second page you'll find the IP address.
