My latest incident with my printer

I've been telling you about this new printer that I got. I still cannot make it work. I've been going to call tech support but with Mike sleeping during the day, I have to wait until he's gone so I don't wake him. Anyway...........almost a week ago I was trying to print something. First I turn on my printer and go through a menu and finally punch in my password which is a big hassle everytime I try to go on line with it. (Remember it is wireless). Then I go to my computer and we very nicely ask the printer to please print this out for us. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Well the other day no matter what I did or what "sugary" words I used, that printer would not print. So I canceled out all my hundreds of attempts at printing the same one page and gave up on the dang thing. I I have not even looked at the printer since then. Well yesterday I made some copies on it and left it on when I got done. A while later I was doing something on the computer and the printer decided that it wanted to print. I had no idea what secret message my printer might be giving me or how many I would receive. I was a little nervous about that, but I was going to let it print whatever it wanted to. Anyway, it ended up just printing one copy of the recipe that I had been trying to print. So now I know that I do not have to go through that whole program and put in my password everytime. I think the problem has been with my internet connection which isn't always that reliable. But it sure helps make my boring life interesting. And then I get a little help from my family on keeping my life interesting also.
