No wired connections needed. I believe it is called the setup wizard in Windows that will help you do this. We did it quite some time ago so both kids could share printer and it worked great.

Check your USB drivers. The printer works off the printer driver. The pedal needs a joystick
driver in order to work. You have to configure your USB port for this.
Congrats, girl, and get your share of any money that you share before he wipes you out. nm

Share, share, I've been looking for some time...sm
sending out resumes gallor, have great experience, but they sound like clones of each other in what they offer, yet what they want is it all!!! I'm so discouraged, in the depression boat myself! They want you to commit to FT, new equip, DSL, on and on!!!
Do little kids like caramel? My big kids won't even eat it! We make the basic Baker's chocolat

I never said you shouldn't have kids! Feeling guilty? I asked WHY you had kids.
You clearly stated in your post that you ship the kids off to camp all day, and they're TIRED AT NIGHT!! You know exactly what you said. You said it as a PERK - AS IN GREAT! They're gone all day, it wears them out, and so I shovel dinner in their mouths and off to bed! You can try to paint it any way you want, but YOU SAID IT. Again, I only hope your kids never hear you speak that way or write that way. Shame on you. Why have kids at all? Just another parent who has them, gets rid of them for day AND night, BRAGS ABOUT IT, and then calls ME wicked! Give me a break! Camp is fine - its WHAT YOU SAID AND YOU KNOW IT. Your own words showed your heart. Period.
Kids are demanding and so is MT work. My question is how CAN you do this with kids, rather than how
When you have two young kids, 11 months apart, (like I stated they are now 4 and 5) and have been doing this since they were born with no help from their father and no family around, YES, the kids get neglected. Part time might work but living on one salary, part time, is not an option. How can you possible tell me that anyone with two young kids can stay at home and work a full-time, 8-hour shift, and still give their kids the attention they NEED. I dont care how good you are at multitasking and how great your organizational skills are. It is a very difficult thing to do. And I am offended by your post making it sound as if it is easy to do.
I do agree that it can depend on how well your kids behave and how well they are able to play on their own. But my kids were not able to play well on their own. They needed constant attention.
So please take the time to realize that there are people out there in different situations than your own.
Reading our posts should help you to understand that everyone has a different situation. I believe everyone should have the right to shares their experiences as it might benefit the original poster in her questions and concerns.
I dont think anyone should be bashed for taking the time out to write about their experiences. I dont usually come on here to argue but you really ticked me off with your post. And try reading the post correctly. I said next time around I would have put them in day care. What I DID do with them was set them up to an activity like art or put on a movie for them. Geez.
Stayed "because of the kids?" I say "leave because of the kids"
You're in no position to buy right now. Keep saving, keep paying down your bills, and for heaven's sake get rid of that dead weight of a BF you're living with. You can do better.
So, should I return the $75 (x2 kids) in music cards I got the kids for x-mas...sm
My son has been telling me about free music sites and I was very leary. How do they skirt the law Radguy?
I don't have kids, but my Mom was from the "old school," and still had everyone, kids inclu
call her by her first name. The little neighbor girl next door from the time she could speak called her Aggie (my mom's first name), and they were great buddies until the day my mom pased away.
I don't think there really is much in a name, but more in the respect you are given and the way you are treated. Personally, I kind of cringe inside when someone calls me Ms. Anything or God forbid, "maam" (makes me feel like Methuselah!) ... I'm always just plain Merrie. :-)
But, as someone pointed out, to each his own. If you want to be addressed a certain way, you have that right, and people should respect that. I'm glad you corrected the child ... hope it "sticks." 
Yes, I have an ink jet printer
I just bought an HP Photosmart 2610v that is an all in one printer, fax, scanner, copier. I really don't want to have to go out and buy another new printer. :( I really appreciate you letting me know that a laser printer eliminated this problem. Which one do you use that eliminated this problem??? I might have to resort to this.
Also, I am trying to get them to consider going digital so I would not need to print anything for them (unless they were willing to have me just deliver transcription one day a week - I might consider that). However, I don't know how we can resolve the issue IF I do get to go digital and I won't be doing the printing and there creates another problem unless they have a printer that wouldn't do the same thing as mine.
Thanks again!
Printer
Laser will work better because the laser uses a different mechanism -- do not understand all of it but it was explained to me. Some of it is because something has already been printed on the paper when it runs through a ink jet. But my laser printer, have a large one that cost a lot, but it works so well it has paid for itself in the past 4 - 5 years. But there are some inexpensive ones out there also. But what you need to do is when you try a printer out --- take samples of what you will be printing on to the store and try it. Might waste some paper but it is worth it. I use the sticky paper and had a lot of problems because of the weight of the paper and that is why I had to go with laser. Also do 40 to 50 envelopes a day and needed that.
Be prepared that if you go digital and they will print off -- they will probably want to drop your cpl since they are doing part of the work. That happened to me. So see what the trade off is.
Printer/Me
My husband works in a print shop. I definitely make more money.

Can anybody recommend a good reliable printer? I have had 2 HP printers, one was really cheap (so I did not expect it to last). This last one I spent a pretty penny on, but is no better than the cheap one. TIA.
HP printer
I'm not sure if you are having the same problem I was having, but... try this and see if it helps the next time that happens. Unplug both cords in the back of printer (not the phone jack, the other two). Reboot your computer.. after computer reboots, plug everything back in again. I was told to do this by HP rep a couple years ago, and it works for me.
HP Printer
I have a C5200 and love it. Have had no problem with any kind of paper I use. The only thing that seems to be necessary to use is HP Ink. I have had problems with other brand cartridges. I would return it if I were you.
Please do not simply give up, kids or no kids!
Talk with a professional. This can be worked through if he really puts forth the effort and you participate. The right counseling can truly make your marriage even better than it was before, if BOTH parties are willing to be honest. Give it a try. Nothing to lose at this point and everything to gain!
I had that problem with a printer (sm)
what type of printer is it? inkjet? I bought myself a laser printer and it solved the problem.
What kind of printer do you use? sm
I used to use an Epson which was pretty good on ink and I would get cartridges from e-bay. However, now I use a Lexmark and that eats ink like crazy. I second e-bay as a great source.
inkjet printer ink............
I think it's hp dot com.......
printer cartridges
I've actually ordered some off of ebay for 1/3 less! I'll never buy a cartridge from a store again. I thought I'd just take the chance and give it a try since they were so much cheaper. They work like a charm.
If only one printer is listed...
How can you change your default? Can you actually create a default that does not exist?
Okay...I don't have that there. Mine is the printer
icon. Maybe I accidentally hit F11 then.
I appreciate everyone's help! :)
Printer not printing
My hp LaserJet 1300 will not print what I send to it, however, it does print a page with a single line at the top - ?%-57755}euom%oog/ and so on.
I turned off the printer for 1/2 hour and tried again and it is still doing this.
Any ideas?
Thank you. Barb
printer not printing
Thank you for all the help. I tried everything and then called the place where I bought the printer. Three days of no printing, the morning the tech was due here the thing printed! He came out and determined that we probably had a "brown out" and that something was hung up in memory and it eventually cleared itself. Had a few other questions for him and so I guess the $90.00 for his 45 minutes of time was somewhat worth it!
Printer problems - HP All-in-One
Anyone know why I would suddenly have a single thin vertical line in all my printing from my all-in-one EXCEPT when I print off the internet. I totally cleaned the mirror and the flatbed scanner. Now, trying to print pictures, the same single line appears. It appears with copies printed from the flatbed, faxed copies, and when I try to scan. Thanks for any suggestions.
Is the printer on a network?
You may have to "wake up" the computer that printer is directly connected to and/or reboot that computer.
When this has happened to me (I have HP jet printer)....
and I cannot delete the printing when it seems to freeze, or print, the only thing I have found that will work is uninstalling it and reinstalling it. It happens if I run out of paper too, so I am careful about that. Mine is getting older but it just started happening in the last year. This happens on both my computers, so it is the printer.
using dot matrix printer

Does anyone have an HP Photosmart printer? see msg
I have not had any luck printing on the HP Photosmart 2575 unless I use Hewlett Packard paper. I have a huge stack of photo paper from Costco that used to print out beautiful photos on my old Epson. When I switched to this HP Photosmart printer, the Costco photo paper is all smeared and oversaturated with ink. The same applies to using copy paper as some of the lines are either missing or too light. However, when I use the HP paper products, everything prints out perfect. What a ripoff having to use only HP products. Is there any solution, or else I will return this printer to Staples?
If this is the printer I'm thinking of (S/M)
I was given one as a gift last Christmas with photo paper (H/P) to go with it, but I had the same problem when I attempted to use a cheaper brand of paper. There was an atrocious bleeding problem and the pictures took FOREVER to dry. Upon examination after drying, it was just a substandard quality as well.
I returned mine for store credit.
Hope that helps with your decision :D
Printer question, help!
I know many of you may not even print at home, but I have to, and I'm running into a big problem with my new laser printer getting jammed up by the sticky paper. It's a Samsung ML-2510. I'm having to feed the paper one page at a time in order to get it to go through.
Are there any good brands/types that work well with the sticky paper?
I was using my inkjet printer, which took the paper fine, but the cartridge was running out in about a week's time, and I couln't afford to buy a new one once a week.
Ideas?
laser printer
I think it's because it's a laser printer. Laser printers work much like copiers in that they heat the paper to seal the ink onto the page. Sticky paper hates laser printers. Do you have options as to where you purchase the paper? Maybe look at the manufacturer's web site to see if they have a type that works with laser printers. If they don't then you are looking at either dealing with feeding the paper in one at a time and keeping the laser printer or trading it in back for another ink jet. Different ink jets use ink at different rates so you can compare and see which would be the most economical for what you do.
Printer Problems
I have a Cannon BJC-4100 printer. It was printing fine 2 days ago but now it keeps saying it is out of paper. There is plenty of paper. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this? Thanks in advance!

It could be a lot of things. Go to Google and type in "printer is saying out of paper." See if any other the suggestions can help.

Need Laser printer recommendations
I may need to purchase a laser printer as the SOAP sheets that the office I work for sends to me are jamming in my HP ink jet printer. It has to be due to the writing that is being done on these SOAP sheet pages at the top where they fill in pertinent patient info, i.e., name of pt, vitals signs, birth control, etc., as well as how much the paper is being handled, shuffled, corners getting bent, etc.
I have a new ink jet printer and have always had a problem with these sheets in every ink jet printer I have owned but my newest (and nicest printer thus far) it is happening more than ever before. It is very frustrating and time consuming to deal with this.
I was told that laser printers do not cause this problem as they utilize a different mechanism in printing. So, I may need to purchase a laser printer but would like some recommendations. I cannot afford a lot. I am hoping if I have to do this I can find a good one for around $400. I would appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks so much.
I have a Brother printer and paid around $400 (SM)
I was doing a lot of printing and not only did it solve the paper getting stuck issue, but the printing is SOOO much faster!!! The quality is better too. I don't know about your docs but when I used the inkjet, if they got the paper wet (coffee or water rings and they did that a lot!) the ink ran.
Yes, especially since my printer stopped talking to me.
.
For the computer/printer savvy!
If you can solve this problem - you are really good!! Here it is - The office I work for has just changed the margins and the bottom margin is now 0.3. However, everytime that I change the margin, the computer automatically bumps it up to 0.46.
The computer savvy person in the home office believes that it has something to do with a preset margin minimum in the printer which will not allow it to accept the margin. The computer tech where I bought the computer believes that also. BUT - no one knows how to go about changing that.
My printer is an HP PSC 2210 all-in-one. Calling HP is not an option since the printer is possibly 4 to 5 years old and out of warranty so therefore the charge for their advice is not worth it!!
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?? So far, this has stumped everyone! Thanks in advance.
Dell printer 720 problem

Laser jet not ink jet printer - more economical
I have a laser jet printer and though the ink is expensive at 100 a cartridge, it lasts me for six to eight months and I do printing for all of my five accounts. My printer was top of the line over ten years ago and I just got a new HP color laser jet for $899 but they end up paying for themselves by not going through as much ink as a ink jet. For one of my accounts I do the letterhead on the paper. Have done that many times for many accounts. I incorporate it into the price. I supply paper, sticky paper also. Two accounts supply their letterhead and I provide second sheets. My friend has an inj jet and constanly complains about the amount of ink she goes through. It is all a cost of business. But if this is something new, she should put on a $10 charge per month depending on how many letters she is doing. I probably print off 400 sheets per week.
New computer and fax/printer...questions
I'm going to buy a new home desktop computer. I'd get a laptop and love to get one but I want my almost-4-year-old to be able to use it and I'm afraid she'd destroy the laptop. Anyway, the cheaper the better but I really want a Vista. Any recommendations on where to go for a good deal, any computer recommendations? I'm awful with this stuff!! I wouldn't really use it for work because work provides a PC, just for play :)
Oh... also want to get an all in one scanner/fax/printer so recommendations there would be helpful too!
I need to store an ink jet printer and keep in case my others die-how do I
go about storing the cartriges so they don't dry out? Can regular adhesive tape be put on the part where the ink shoots out (as they are when new?). Thanks for any ideas.
jammed dot matrix printer
I was wondering if anybody else uses a dot matrix printer. I have been doing this account for 10 years. We are constantly having the labels jam all the time. We use labels that the doctor's office provides. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Anyone know why an HP all-in-one printer would would intermittently not respond? sm
Only about 1-1/2 years old. No new software installed on computer. Should I uninstall and then reinstall? I can't track any certain document/reason why it does not respond. Thanks.
I have a printer that prints pictures very nicely sm
do you think I'm good to go without the dock? thanks!
she said that the usb port worked with her printer, but not any pedals.
not the driver, then. it is not the port that is the problem. :^)
I travel with a laptop, printer, and keyboard - sm
My printer is small enough to fit into a backpack - about the size of a portable DVD player. So the printer, along with the laptop go on the plane with me. The keyboard and mouse go in my suitcase that gets carried under the plane. Now, if i have to take a transcriber with me, depending on where I'm going, I will either ship that ahead or TRY to take it with me on the plane, but it depends on where I'm going and how long I'll be gone. I have had to replace a transcriber because of security deciding to take it apart when it was packed in my suitcase. Lesson learned on my part.
If printer in typing mode, then I should not have any trouble
seeing the letters- the words on the page can be at 120, so big 1 line does not fit on the page; however when printing off, the words are so miniscule you can hardly read. That is the problem, can anyone help?
