Oh come now.  Real men write their resumes with a 6v battery, a 100 ohm
resistor, an LED (and appropriate resistor), and the tx/rx pairs of an
Ethernet cable.  Connect up the LED with the resistor in series to the
RX pair, one of the TX pairs to the negative battery terminal, tie the
100 Ohm resistor to the other TX pair.  Then just tap out the packet by
hand by connecting the other lead of the 100 Ohm resistor to the
positive battery terminal.  No whining about not being fast enough,
haven't you been playing Quake and it's derivatives for a decade now?

Bonus points if you configure the network printer first the same way,
before sending your resume to the printer as Postscript to lpd.  Don't
even think of going all new-fangeldy and tapping out packets ipp packets.
