Went to print a document on New Years Eve and the printer light wouldn't come on, so hence after investigating many options and a thorough check we came to the conclusion that it had 'died'. So off to buy another, It's a new one out apparently, a Canon MG7160 which is Wireless or USB, it prints on DVD/CD discs like my old printer, and of course it scans which my old one didn't do. I am very happy with it.
I was amused, after I had installed the Drivers and software the small window on the printer told me there was a Firmware update, and would I like to install it, so of course I did which installs into the printer itself.
That sounds like a really neat printer. Each time I get a new computer I have to buy a new printer too as one is never compatible with the other. Snow and cold here so enjoy your warm temps!
ReplyDeleteThanks Beth.
ReplyDeleteEach computer I get, I am able to get the drivers and just install the software so I could keep the same printer, It's a pity you have to buy a new one each time, but then again it depends on how often you buy a new computer.
I have the impression it is rather big. I also had problems with the drivers of my printer lately. Happy New Year.

It is a big printer. Drivers can be a problem at times
DeleteOh, technology ... so tedious when it malfunctions! Glad you've sorted it out! Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteYes sorted out, thanks.
DeleteI went to buy printer cartridge and found it to be $69 next to the cartridges in the store was a shelf of printers for $79 so I thought it is almost as cheap to buy a new printer so I did. The old one didn't scan, copy or fax but this one does. It is wifi and usb but the wifi connection doesn't work any more and I can't be bothered reinstalling it so I just use the cable now. Have fun with yours.
