At this point, it's just comical, but have you ever had one of those days where nothing is going right? I allowed my self to get sweet talked into performing another bonused pizza shop that I really didn't want to do. But hey, work is work so you do what you have to do. I made the call, and the pizza was on its way. As soon as I go to print the necessary paperwork to take the appropriate photos, the printer stops working.
Hmm, must be out of ink. I could hear a little bit of black ink in the cartridge swirling around but I guess it was not quite enough to get the job done. I run out to pick up new ink for $62 and return home. Install the ink cartridges, and it still doesn't work. Trouble shoot for over an hour trying all the HP forum recommendations only to find out numerous people have the same issue with this particular printer. (That is only a year old by the way.)
I soon realize after trying to reboot the system, reloading the software, re-aligning the printer cartridges, cleaning the printer heads, and numerous other recommendations, my printer is simply not going to work. I have exhausted all efforts. HP 6510 - time of death... 2:56 PM.
I head out to Best Buy to buy a new printer. Get stuck behind a very slow 18 wheeler who has some very unpleasant smelling fumes that I just can't get away from. Hit a little bit of traffic, reach my destination, shell out another $105 for a printer and head home.
Meanwhile, my pizza has now sat for several hours, and any hopes of salvaging it for the shop is not going to happen. I let my teenage son go ahead and have at it.
Fast forward a couple of more hours later, I am re-ordering my *favorite* pizza, again, and setting up a brand new printer.
Nothing like spending almost $200, setting up a new printer and performing the same pizza shop twice in one day. It is now 5:30 PM and the only shop I had scheduled for the day, and it's not even done.
Oh well, at least a new Grey's Anatomy is on tonight. I know it's just one of those days and can laugh about it now, but earlier?? Not so much.
