saturday i installed the printer. i had to do it slowly and carefully. it really was not hard. the instructions were just stuupid, and made me goofier than i already was.

the set up directions were awful. mom insisted i do the RTFM bit "we engineers" shy away from. well anyway.

it is unpacked and set up and i connected it and installed it to my laptop. then i tested some basic functionality. will do more tests when i connect it to my folks' PC but since that was in a corner it was more (physically) comfortable for me to install to mine first. both puters have to have the drivers on anyway to use the printer so don't matter the order.

it's a printer/copier/scanner. i did an enlarged color copy and it was beautiful! i also printed a doc i had waiting to go... came out good.

i stall haven't scanned. that's the sunday project, along with moving to it's more permanent position by my folks' computer and installing drivers to that. it's my old XP laptop so should be no hassle - this is an XP as well and gave me no trouble.

but the big part is done really. most of the unknowns have been debelled and i'm not looking at that STUPID "start here" sheet again. it made me LOOOPY!!!!!! (could well be instructions like that are the reason for the presence of the lettter F in that "RTFM" saying.)

ohhhh noooooo..... oh no here goes. oh gosh. going to bed now.

nite nite.

talk to you later and will try to catch up with more threads.
