Last month my all-in-one printer died and I have been holding off replacing it - low season makes empty pockets. DH took me to the office supply store today and bought me the all-in-one I wanted as a Valentine's present. I told him long ago that if he ever got me flowers on Valentine's I would smack him - I am too practical. The printer will out-last the flowers any day.
Got an HP 6310 that has some really nice features on it (ink costs more than the cheaper model but still less than my previous cartridges). Now comes the hard part - I have NEVER hooked any of this stuff together before. I always bought it from the computer guy in town - but he moved out of town now - and he always came over and got the sick computer, made it well and returned it and every time I got a new piece of equipment, he hooked it up. OK, so I am a weenie, that is life. I know enough about this stuff to be truly dangerous (remember my background was mainframe and this ain't mainframe).
I have decrapified everything enough to be able to put everything side by side tomorrow and I am hoping I can just unplug one connection from the old and into the new with everything one at a time and pray it works (one reason I got HP is replacing one HP with another plus I was happy with the old HP). Cross fingers for me that i get it all working.......
