Passed the test, I think!

On Sunday, my printer, which had been happily connected to, and printing from, my laptop for almost a year, suddenly decided it needed updating.

From there, it's been a downward spiral of disappearing drivers, unresponsive printers, me deciding it was the printer dying and buying ANOTHER printer, only to have the same problem, and three days of scouting round the internet without success for a fix. I've spent about 20 hours and a couple of very late nights trying to find a fix, and I STILL don't have a working printer.

On Monday, I could stand it no longer. No, it's not what you're thinking...I broke out my very first homebrewed juice which had been steeping for five days. I wanted to hold out for a week, but.....

Surprisingly, although the printer problems still aren't sorted (and now I have TWO non-functioning printers), I've not got half as cross as I usually would, and not only that, but my new juice - which tastes quite good, though I say it myself - is ZERO nicotine!!!

I'd normally be screaming and cursing, but I'm reasonably zen, considering. And all without having to resort to either tobacco or nicotine. At least there's one good result in all this!

Perhaps a drop of the wonder juice in the print head......??

Bless you for the suggestion, but yes. I've updated the drivers several times, for both printers, I've uninstalled, reinstalled, cleaned the registry, searched the internet for fixes, spent over an hour on chat help with a nice man from Kodak, tried a wired and wireless install, system restore, and am now busy uninstalling windows updates from the big November patch release....

And I'm vaping....I'm vaping....


Aaaaaaaaaaand breathe.
