My printer died. It had lived a long (for a printer) life and it was time to get a new one. After seeing the ultra cool all in one Kodak printer on The Celebrity Apprentice (yes yes I watched it but I quit - it got REALLY stupid), I decided I wanted it. The ink cartridges are cheap and the amount they print is over double of the average printer.
Sunday armed with my children, we went printer shopping. I couldn’t find the model I wanted anywhere (sold out) and I ended up buying the display model at Office Depot.
Big mistake.
What a POS! I did everything I was supposed to, troubleshooting it until I couldn’t troubleshoot it anymore and I flat out couldn’t make the black ink work. So I took it back.
And went to Best Buy and bought the even bigger and badder model with no problems. It’s sitting next time as we speak, all pretty and shiny and ready to print out the partial I’m sending out tomorrow. Yay!
One word of advice - Never buy the display model. They suck.
Painting progress: The bathroom is going well! I would say in two days I’ll be finished. I have to do it in shifts ‘cos it needs to be done in layers and I have to let the layers dry. So a couple of hours over the next few days and I’ll be done! And pics will be shared, don’t worry…
