Well shit.

Scuse me for the subject line, but it's well-warranted. I think my printer just crapped out. In a permanent kind of way... busted carriagehead, bet you thirty bucks.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Edit: Okay, it's a carriage glide rod failure... bushing fell out of the carriage head (so I think I still get my thirty bucks...). I've returned to my grease-monkey roots and took the damn thing apart - I'm going to need some superglue and some teflon based lubricant, some alcohol (not for drinking, though frankly, I could USE a drink about now...) and some q-tips. *rolls up sleeves* May still be a lost cause - did some research, and this isn't always recoverable. Sometimes, though...

Did I mention that I had THINGS TO DO TODAY?!

man, you're good. when stuff goes wrong with MY printer, i just open it up and prod about with a pencil until somehow something moves.
i guess i'm no grease monkey....maybe just a monkey.

I figure you're eyeballing the screen...but I'm a friend...of a friend... And I hate my printer too, and I'm bored, so...here I am. *wave* So, um, delete if you wish, just...er...felt like it. ^^' Late night snooping of friend's friends pages. ^_^' Anyway.

Good luck on your printer! >.> I'm too afraid I'd break something if I got in mine... Have to get a friend just to change the ink. Pathetic, huh?

My pathetic printer sometimes decide it doesn't want to speak to the computer, and will suddenly not print, nor scan, for a week. o_o My printer is human, and it hates me and this little crammed up computer. *sigh* v_v Technology hates us so.
