:angry: The pressure building up in my head right now is about to make my eyes pop out. :angry:
I hate printers. Printers should be banned. :veryangry: Destroyed. Incinerated. :veryangry: Disintegrated. Annihilated. :veryangry: Removed from civilised society. :veryangry:

Ours is supposed to be wifi but we've hard wired it and it tends to find it now...
Then the ink has run out :laughing: or there isn't any paper because the kids have nicked it for their latest project :rolleyes:
I feel your pain xx
Can I join your I hate printers club please? My printer constantly gives me a headache as it goes "offline" so I have to turn it off and then back on again every time I want to print something! I also share Sarah's pain at no paper as the children always find it much easier to take it from the printer rather than the packet next to the printer!
I got so frustrated with our last printer that I let my older mindees take it apart with a screw driver- definitely recommend it as an activity! Children fully engaged for hours and I felt much better seeing it in hundreds of pieces in a tuff tray!!!
☺ooo i like that!Quote:

I hate it when I sneakily print something off during the day, and as its printing one of the toddlers will bring the printout to you sheet by sheet all crumpled !!!
Hp instant ink? Sounds amazing, tell me more! :-)Quote:

It works out for me at about 2p a page where as, when I costed my old ink, it was about 6/7p a page.
Haha so glad I am not the only one. Still haven't gotten round to sorting the problem yet as had to take the bunny to the vets last night (thought he was going to be put to sleep but WOOHOO he is all good). I printed some stuff off on friday and tried to put that into the learning storybooks only to discover I have packed all my poly-pockets.
I am just about ready to explode. Modern tech...pah. Make life easier....pah!! Never had this problem when I did all the journals by hand haha.
Have told all the parents I am emailing them the pages and they can print them off for the kids new nurseries lol.
I got an HP Envy 5530 a couple of months ago from Curry's, think it cost about £50 - signed up to instant ink, 50 pages for £1.99 a month, I won't use all of that as I do on line journals but it's not going to break the bank and I always have a spare cartridge here for when it does run out. What I dread is paper jams as my printer is buried in corner of desk under things that really should be filed and it's a nightmare to get to back of it.Quote:

It's bad enough when the paper runs out mid printing and then it still tells you it's run out even though you have put new paper in so you take it out, half the load, do a little giggly dance with the paper edge on the table, fan it then place it in the printer gently but all I ever want to do it ram the damn thing in and then try my best to press 'copy' button gently when at this stage my mind is trying desperately to remember where the hammer is stored! Hold my breath till it prints.
Hahaha, this is awesome.Quote:

Anyhow, my 20yo has managed to reboot the laptop anyway so all is good again. Just need to get that poxy printer sorted now, which is currently sat behind about 20 packing boxes :crying:
