Our beloved HP PSC 2350 died on
Wednesday. It was with us for over eight
years and only started causing problems since the New year.
I installed a brand new HP deskjet 1510 yesterday
evening, all by myself, except I couldn’t work out where the downloads were disappearing
to. Rob showed me, I must look and see
how many other lost downloads are lurking there since I had this computer in
2011.
The new machine scans really quickly which
is just what I need for eBay. I’ve also
written to my Mum and Olivier to check how it prints and that is fine too. I’m so glad I haven’t had to learn how to do
things differently, it’s the same and in the places where it is different, it’s
easier.

I seem to have a personal curse on me where scanners and printers are concerned. To this day I have not printed out a decent photograph, not that I have tried more than a few times, and now after spending a fortune on inks the prints are worse than ever and next t useless.
ReplyDeleteI am verging on jealous that you have had a piece of modern technology which has lasted so long...
I was surprised to see that the paper is no longer fed from the front on the 1510. I always thought that was a nice feature on HP printers.
ReplyDeleteI'm a great fan of HP, though I've yet to buy two that use the same ink cartridges. I guess that with your talents you can easily flog the old ones on eBay!
Caroline: We've never tried to print photographs. I think the main printing has revolved around student children printing out documents and papers.
ReplyDeleteAngela: Thank you for visiting. Yes, it is strange to see the paper at the back. If I forget to open up the front exit before printing it reminds me. The old unused cartridges will go to our favourite charity shop. As it happens there is only one.
