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!

I love being wireless! I never have to leave my office (which, thanks to laptops and wireless connections, has become my easy chair.
That is fastly becoming my second office. The first is still the porch swing! lol Thanks for stopping by.
wish i had a porch swing
With a fan to blow those HUGE Southern mosquitoes away!
I would ahve given up long before. I admire your patience! Machines and I just don’t get along.
My patience (if I am at all honest) wanted to cry! But, I’m the tech person in this home and I had no choice to preserver. So glad it is done.
