Title: Printer Problem
Post by: Barman on March 09, 2008, 11:34:29 AM
Does anybody have a clue on my farking printer?

To recap, I have two printers.

1) A networked HP Business InkJet 2300
2) A USB connected HP DeskJet 5740

I set the Business InkJet to be the default but it continually changes back to the DeskJet.

It didn’t do this before I changed the PC so I know it can work as I want it to.

Why the fuck won’t it?  Banghead

Order it all online. Think of those warp powered processors, load of RAM, colossal hard drives, ultra fast graphics cards.

That massive flat monitor, stylish keyboards and mice. Designer cases, working hi-tech printers.

Go for it. LL will understand.

You know you want to.  lol:

Truth is I’ve just got a state-of-the-art Pentium duo based system with zigagos of RAM, megablobs of disc and massive display. The two printers although not new are almost state-of-the-art too…   whistle:

I’m going to end up unplugging the wanking DeskJet ‘till I need it I ‘spec…  noooo:

I just unplugged the DeskJet, re-booted and it still changed the default to be the DeskJet!  Banghead

I eventually solved my similar problems by never hitting the print button but by going to File, Print and selecting from the options offered (which included printers long dead until I got round to buying the new PC and didn't bother to install those I no longer have). I have a Samsung SCX4200 laser (B&W obviously) that also scans and photocopies) that is new and a HP Stylus 680 colour inkjet that is yonks old. Both are installed on the new PC and I use the options as described.
Must admit that for most purposes the B&W Samsung is what I use .... both for economy and clarity. It suits better for the magazine. Only rarely do  print anything n colour. The old Samsung (which I have recently garaged pending finding it a new home) was very big, noisy and about 6 years old. Cost a bloody fortune at the time £600+ but did me 36,000 copies over the 6 years. This time I went cheaper (Well under a hundred) and am getting similar results qualitywise.

There you go BM. Flatten all hard drives, throw anything over 2 years old into the skip.

Install clean copies of Vista and all will be well.  cloud9:

You can afford it.  eyes:

My thought at the time I must confess.

Like I told her "If I want Lobster Thermidor I go to a restaurant because I don't get it at home ~ ergo if I want a bit of "extras" then the rest naturally follows"

I'll never understand wimmin. She had just taken me for the house and contents, 50% of all insurances and pension plans (all had to be cashed in). I was left wth a beat up Jag, a suitcase full of books and another with my clothes in plus a commitment to pay maintenance until the yougest chld was 18. AND she was the one crying? I even paid for lunch after the hearing.  noooo:
