sgornyI just bought a new high-volume printer cartridge at Costco for $52, because it turned out that the last one I had printed in olive, teal, and hot pink instead of green, blue, and red. I thought I'd gotten a bad one, and planned to return the old defective one in the new wrapper, for exchange for a usable one.
But the new printer cartridge prints in yellow, hot pink, and turquoise only! So obviously the greeny part of it is worse (since olive became yellow, and teal became turquoise - hot pink was unaffected, I think).
*headdesk*
Crap, it must be my printer. Of course, it is almost 4 years old... but crap.
I guess I need a new one?
And if I do, I'm getting a printer/copier/scanner/fax, because I've run into a few situations with my work (self-employed) where people want to fax me stuff, or have me scan info to send to them. So I guess I could write it off.
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do to fix my printer? Or any good suggestions for a combo unit? I don't have a seperate line, so I have no idea how the fax thing would work. I have DSL at home, so the phone doesn't ring through to the computer... I'm not even sure there is a modem in there, as I had it built, and may have been an idiot... But there is a phone jack not far from where the unit would be... maybe it could hook into both of them, seperately? Like, 5 rings = gets fax (since I have a tollsaver option on my answering machine).
*headdesk* *headdesk*
*stresses*
ETA: In other news... I hate working other people offices. Stuff is set up so wrong for me, my lower back has been screaming at me since about 2 pm, and then a 5 car pileup on the freeway (some idiot managed to cross into oncoming traffic) made it worse. I need a painkiller... or a good massage, but since that isn't coming, I think a Vicodin or Percocet could help - at least for sleep.
