My printer finally died. Actually, I had
been expecting it for some time, especially with its habitual ink leaking.
But, with its death, that meant I had to
begin searching for another printer. Running a business from my home office
meant that I was sorely in need of a multi-purpose printer/fax/scanner and
whatever else magic it might want to bring to the table.
The printer arrived this morning and the
unpacking commenced. Just the magnitude of the number of cords, cartridges, and
books was overwhelming. I unpacked and set all the items in order and began the
arduous task of connecting printer to computer via wireless connection.

This task is not for the faint of heart. When
I researched the printer, all of the ratings agreed that it was an easy set-up.
HA! HA! HA! I don’t know what printer they speaking of, but it definitely WAS
NOT this one!
After a couple of calls to my cousin in
Georgia and reading and r e-reading the manuals, and having the monitor tell me
one thing and the readout on the printer telling me another, I did manage to
figure it out. I don’t know if I wanted
to wail to Ricky as Lucille Ball would have, or whine, as Gracie would have
done to George – or perhaps both. But, now I am set up via wireless to print.
The fax setup may be something altogether different. I’m saving that for
another day!
As always, thanks for taking the time to visit
today!

Oh yes the mighty printer? I sympathise with your battle to understand the dreaded operations manual? you alluded to some famous names of comedy and reminded me of one? Jackie Gleasons "Honeymooners"I was a great fan, enjoyed your post, agman
