Printer 1, Us 0

[mrissa]

Apparently printing out an entire YA novel and an entire adult novel within the span of a week was too much for my printer. It has succumbed to more malaise than markgritter and I can fix, though not for lack of trying, and so tomorrow I will find somewhere to take it in and be fixed. Which is, of course, precisely what my schedule needed this week in every particular.

Sigh. I'm reminding myself that it's still better than having to type all 637 pages out myself. Technology. Worse than everything but its lack.

On the bright (?) side, I got up through page 576 on Thermionic Night, so I can at least make a reasonable beginning of this read-through.

printer repairs tend to be costly. many times it's cheaper to buy a new one. I'm completely happy with my Samsung ML1210 laser. I've printed out about 4000pages through it and am on my 2nd ink cartridge :) They run between 125 and 200 with ink at about 60 or so.

We have a Samsung ML1710. Of course we'll find out before we get the repairs whether it would be just as cost-effective to get a new printer, but even so, shopping for a new printer was not high on my list for tomorrow, either.

So, if you killed the printer, shouldn't it be

Us 1, Printer 0

(Or perhaps a total page count?) :)

Except that it gets to keep the rest of my book and my short story cover letters to itself, and I get no cover letters at all, so I think it wins.
