New Printer / Scanner / Fax:

This printer is a Christmas gift from Bern, Barbie's older brother, who happens ot be working in Lexmark at Cebu. He brought it here a few days before Christmas - just informing us that it could double as a scanner and fax machine. Did I mention it has WiFi, so it won't need physical cables connecting to a PC or laptop when printing had to be done?

Now, our current (at least, current until this came) printer could likewise scan (and in that sense, also copy/reproduce stuff), and for all intents and purposes, its a great printer - except for the fact that it really eats up printer ink fast - due ot its internal cleaning process. The downside of this is that the ink s were pricey (specially the cartridge for black), and it had a design flaw (at least to me) of not working - rather, refusing to work, when even one ink cartridge was deemed empty.

Anyway, as I was not in any hurry to do anything, I deemed it the right time to set up the printer properly and introduce it (with its WiFi capabilities) to our home network. Glad to announce it works fine - and the longest part was the printer's self configuration and downloading of its needed files. Oh yeah. the technical manual was confusing somewhere in the middle of it all. So much for great documentation.
