I use my computer to do 100% of my journaling, and my ancient Canon Pixma printer has been a steady companion for the past 8? 9? years. Yesterday I changed two of the ink cartridges and now my trusty printer won't use black ink to print. I did some googling and I think my printer is toast.  I'm taking Shimelle's Clear the Desk class and doing a lot of photo and journaling printing so this is terrible timing. First world problems, I know!  I purchased a new printer last night and hopefully it arrives soon so I can finish up my class. Anyone else have a Monday complaint? |

Aw, that stinks. I hope the new printer arrives soon.
My complaint for the day is that it's freezing in my office. I don't mind being cold but this is crazy. It doesn't help that I am super thirsty today and drank and ungodly amount of water.

Yeah, work... It's interfering with my scrapping time!

Sorry to hear about your printer! They always seem to go at the worst possible time.

It doesn't help that I am super thirsty today and drank and ungodly amount of water. I had the opposite problem. It was in the high eighties here today and the AC wasn’t working. I also drank a lot of water today but for hydration purposes. |

That so stinks. I hope your new printer arrives quickly. christinec68 & artisticscrapper, I don't like being cold or humid hot. Why can't it just be the perfect temperature and humidity all the time?! My Monday complaint is that life is interfering with my crafty time. |

It was in the high eightees here and super humid... I am so thankful for air conditioning! My new printer will be here in one week. Yay! I hope everyone gets some crafty time this week. I have been in my studio for the last hour and it's been great. |

There must be something in the air! My HP photosmart printer died this week too. I loved it and of course, HP doesn't make it any more. I went online to find something comparable and I really couldn't find anything. What did you get to replace your old printer.

scrappysal I purchased an HP Officejet Pro 6968 Wireless Photo Printer w/Software & Instant Ink from HSN. I like that the printer includes full size ink cartridges in the box and the reviews are pretty good. I had an HP prior to my Canon and really liked it. My washing machine (ancient, ancient washing machine...) died Tuesday night, and my Canon Selphie printer won't print. I think I need to crawl into bed and not come out for a verrrrrrrry long time! It's been a hell of a week.

craftymom101 OMG. My dryer stopped working last week. Thanks for printer information. I actually looked at a HP Office Jet Pro but not your model number. I'll check out your suggestion. Lets hope nothing else dies for us.
