I spent about three hours today trying to get my new printer to work. It did not happen The instructions were in English, my first language, but they were not sufficient to get the thing hooked up. They did not correspond with what I saw in front of me. How was your Sunday? Even if mine was frustrating, I had some enjoyable conversations with friends on the phone. I also gave myself some time off to play guitar and piano.

I know how annoying it can be when you don't get something working. Printers should be easy just plug and play, but they aren't.

If Ikea can do good instructions, why cannot these guys?

@TheHorse I guess they expect people to be more teconocally minded?

@kaylachan I am pretty technically minded, and I am a good problem-solver. But I could not get the thing to work.

@TheHorse We got our last one hooked up by calling the help center and it works great. We have had it for ten years now.

Sunday was okay-ish... I spent about half an hour watching the snow fall. I LIKE watching it fall but seeing it on the ground isn't my idea of a good time. I hope you can find a printer that you can hook up to your computer. Good luck!

Things like installing a new printer should be so easy but somehow they never are.

When I bought it, the guy behind the counter said, "Keep the box." That was my first hint that this would not be easy.

You can check it on youtube, when something is off in my gadgets I always look to youtube for solutions and it works. I am starting to learn piano again. But my piano is a bit small. I don't know how will I paly "the canon"... if there is missing piano keys.
