With no resistor present, as soon the cap shorted, you would have had blown traces inside the PSU, rendering the printer inoperable at least. The way the PSU was designed allowed for the cap to be damaged without causing a fire risk or destroying the PSU.

(Thats 10 ohms below zero ohms).   It's the same as a +10 ohm resistor but you turn it around the other way.

I once knew a guy who could cook grits in 5 minutes: the laws of physics apparently ceasing to exist on his stove. And they weren't instant grits either. No self-respecting Southerner would use instant grits..

Do you not remember that phone dials actually went *slower* when you tried to speed up their return by pushing the dial anti-clockwise?
