Buck has watched me fight with that machine, frustrated to tears, trying to get it to cooperate . . . but in the end, the basic printing function still worked! Mostly. So I didn't think we needed to replace it. Buuuuuuuut . . . back in October (like the very end), he brought home this new pretty, pretty.
His timing perfectly coincided with me getting all the XL printer cartridges refilled on the old printer :) So, for the past 6 weeks or so, I've been printing everything I can to use up the money in the cartridges (which is why your Christmas letters came in lovely color :), so we can install the new printer. Well, I got through the black pretty quickly, but that cyan and magenta refused to die! :)
Yesterday, Buck said, "You better be ready to unplug that thing, because I am installing the new printer tonight!" So . . . I printed banners, birthday cards, birthday decorations, various certificates of appreciation :o), Christmas labels, coloring pages, puzzles, student award certificates, even stationary! Anything to get those giant ink cartridges to cough their last . . . and finally, at about 10 p.m. last night, a blank page printed where ink once stained. Yes!!! 
So now, I have this new complicated apparatus to utilize, with all the features I've been longing for (plus a discount because of coupon--music to my ears) and so far, if there really was music, I'd be able to hear it, because it is so quiet!
It's not easy to get me to spend money to replace things like, clothes, bedding, electronics, cooking utensils, vehicles--okay, so everything, BUT I do appreciate when new, fully-functioning items appear in my life. Sometimes they just have to sit in the box for a month or so until I can get used to the idea ;)
Now, about that mattress . . .
