Well, my printer shit the bed again – 🤬🤬🤬 electronics! All I wanted to do was print one simple page so that I could change my address on my driver’s license and registration (which is a story in and of itself). That was all. Long story short (too late – you’ll get that joke if you’ve ever watched Clue), I erased and reinstalled the printer, connected to the wireless and still no link. I finally moved my printer close enough to my computer so that I could hardwire it to the computer and miracle of miracles, it worked (an hour later). I physically disconnected it from the computer, and it still worked wirelessly.
Fantastic! I printed my what I needed and left for the DMV. However, upon my return the computer informed me that it had shut down due to an error (probably a brief power outage) and restarted. I login and, just for the fun of it, check the printer status – offline! And no way to get it to come back online (trust me I googled everything I could think of and nothing helped). So hard wired in it is, for now.
I think the required Apple updates are just screwing with my ability to work with my printer wirelessly and when I have time I will sit on the phone (or most likely in an online chat 🙄) with HP and figure this BS out. And then I’m going to find and marry a tech support person who can just do all of this nonsense for me 😁!
Tomorrow, I rearrange my desk, again….
It’s a wonder I’m even allowed to take care of myself 🤦♀️ 🤪.
