Nerd Talk

I threw the world's biggest hissy fit on Sunday. I should have been enjoying the rare snow day but instead I was kicking around computers and using language no one should ever have to hear.  This is my faithful old printer that in November stopped working for whatever reason. Of course after I ordered a new one it started working again just fine. Until Sunday.

So I dug out the new one and hooked it up only to find that it too wouldn't work. Neither printer would recognize my WIFI password.  #&$*#&$*$%!!!

After hours of researching the issue I gave up on the wireless printing I always had used and hooked up a USB to my Chromebook.

It also was a no go. It seems Chromebooks don't like USB printing. Their heads are in the clouds-literally. Google Cloud Print is the devil's work I tell you. The devil's work.

In desperation I dug out The Mister's old packed away desk top. Thankfully I got the USB cable to work with it. I was in no mood to deal with wireless anything at this point.

All this desperation was to get the February soap wrapped which as you can see I finally managed to do late that night.

I am not happy about having all this "technology" taking up so much space in the craft room but again-you have to do what you have to do.

Ta dah....an abbreviated label but a label. I can't believe I pulled this off. I feel like I should have earned a degree in computer tech after all this but I really can't tell you what I did or how I did it. It was hit and miss and it looks like I have a hit. For now.
