I'VE BEEN SWEARING AGAIN

     Well, maybe I haven't been swearing but on a good rant.

      What am I ranting about? Well, everybody should know what I'm complaining about. 

      So those who guessed printer are right.

      This week the Micro Manager asked me to copy a 16 page booklet double sided from double sided. I accidentally did it a few years ago but I didn't know what I was doing. Look up Brother printer instructions for this and they're clear as mud. So what do you do? Experiment. So 16 pages of test paper on the floor and I finally found out how to do the job. Flip the page to be copied and give it a half turn. It works every tome. So I now have this written down.

    Some people can easily see what has to be done because they can picture it in their head. I can't get that picture in my head. 

    Next ? Scanning. I don't know where to send the scan so I spend all evening looking for the scan. I haven't solved this one but my daughter is coming tomorrow so I think I'll get that one solved.

    Doesn't it feel great when something gets solved? 

THAT PRINTER !

      You guessed it. I had to have a serious discussion with my printer. 

      I bought a half decent (not all the bells and whistles) printer about 5 years ago. I do very little printing. The printer also has a scanner and I do much less scanning than printing. 

     I will admit now that I was extremely challenged when I set the printer up. Some nice people at Brother guided me through the process. 

    Somebody in my house said that they didn't like all the cords with the computer. So the said somebody suggested that the printer be connected to the computer  by Wi fi. Now connecting computer and printer by Wi fi was another epic challenge

     Once in a while Wi fi, the printer or the computer forget that they are supposed to stay connected so they can chat.

    I don't scan very often...maybe a few times a year. So these three may have not been talking to each other for quite some time. Enough time has gone by so that I forget how to connect them again. Fortunately , I kept instructions. Even then there were things that I had a tough time to remember. How do you write 8 on a printer that doesn't have a keyboard? I finally remembered how to write number and put in my pass phrase. 

    Now doesn't it feel great once you've solved a problem. 😊 So I scanned a recipe and emailed it .
