Wireless Networking

Have finally got round to making the printer/copier/scanner wireless. Now I don't have to disconnect the printer from the main pc, then reconnect it to the laptop, just to print.
Can just sit in the armchair in t'other room and print to my hearts content :D

And there was none of :enough: either!!!

Maybe they turn the PC off when not using it.

Was just thinking that myself,

After all, as an (allegedly), wise man said about routers,

The same principle must be applied to spare computers.

We certainly do turn it off when not in use Neil. I only ever use the laptop so this makes it much easier. :D

Do you misspell THE on purpose, or is it a problem that you have? I'm not trying to be difficult, but I notice that you do it repeatably (including 3 times in one sentence). I know that there's some silly trend on the internet of misspelling the word in the way you do, but I'd be very surprised if you were doing it for that reason.

Well I have to go and turn the printer on to start and then when i go to turn it off I can collect anything I have printed. The main reason for making it wireless was to prevent me having to disconnect the USB which involved moving the tower under the computer desk every time.

LOL
It would have to be the child option emamum as printer's in the next room so the spatula would have to be about 12metres long and highly flexible :D

1/ Allow him this little irritation.

or

B/ Post as well as he does.

Then, you would have a right to criticise.

Re: Wireless Networking

I am surprised that an operating system as good as Linux running high quality applications does not auto correct the misspelling of teh ;)

I don't worry about it as its just part of 'me'.

Strange, thats one way of describing me, I prefer "Special" :D

Re: Wireless Networking

I have the same problem with the word 'strange' - if I don't check myself I usually find I have typed 'starnge'.

As for the switching on and off of printer. I go for the 'convenient child' option. ;)

Re: Wireless Networking

Thinking about it, I often type 'remember' as 'rememeber' if I'm not thinking about it. I suppose we're all a little strange or 'special' eh? ;)

Arrrggggh, you're all trying to be "Special", its not fair...........
