Quote from: walkerwally1 on November 03, 2024, 10:44:12 AMI have never liked HP but it is more of a personal thing. I have had a couple Canon printers and liked them but all printers seem to have a life span that seems shorter than it should

I'm sort of leaning towards a Cannon. I just want simple print/copy/scan though I don't think I have ever even used the scan function on any printer I've had! Just print maybe 20 pgs a month that's all I ask of a printer.

Well, copy uses the scanner so you are using the scan function to make a copy. The Canon printers I have had did a good job for everything I wanted so I think they are pretty good. Like all printers I have had they all want you to use their own ink and try to make it hard to use third party ink but I print a lot so that is why I went for the ink tank but for the amount you do it should not be a problem.

109 this morning.

42° was the high yesterday. Today's forecast is 43°/33° with possible rain and snow showers in the afternoon.

Yesterday was kind of crazy/busy with the crystal lady. Then once she left she kept texting me.  Fortunately her last one was that she wouldn't be coming today, which is fine with me!

Garbage to the road and a quick grocery/PO run is it for today. Maybe if I feel energetic I'll work some in the garage.

103 this morning. Our high yesterday was 70° so we are staying right around that and it looks like we will be there for the next few days.
Still trying to get used to the time change but I am doing better than the dog. She wants to be fed an hour earlier now, amazing how she knows.

98 this morning.

Yesterday's high was 42°, today's forecast is 40°/23° and cloudy.  Not much change from this mornings temp of 37°! It's that time of year. I wish it would be clear at night though so maybe I could see the meteor shower!

Well, I ordered my printer, a very cheap Cannon so not out much if it only lasts a year. My last cannon was not expensive and it worked great for a long time...just tired of searching.

Hope to work some in the garage today, didn't get to it at all yesterday.

102 this morning. Our high yesterday was 72° and it is predicted to be a slightly warmer 74° today but still around the same for the rest of the week then getting down into the 60s next week.

Yeah, for what you use a printer for getting a less expensive printer makes sense and replacing it if needed won't be a major expense. Sorry you had such a bad experience with the tank printer. I am really happy with mine but I do a lot of printing so it has saved me a lot of money for ink cartridges and I was replacing them often. My ink tanks are still pretty full, black is about at 50% and the color are all at about 75% and I have printed several hundred pages so far.  I bought a supply of ink refills but haven't used any yet.

Yeah, my black is about 1/2 and the colors are all barely used. They just won't print!! I am going to do one more you tube search for power cleaning the nozzle heads and see if I can find one that gets me to the proper menu. If I can/if it works, cool, if not the new printer is ordered.
