As my first post on my blog i would like to get it out in the open that i absolutley HATE printers.

Yesterday someone contacted me, they offered me €300 to do some printing work for them. You may think that is quite steep, but they wanted it for the next day and also i would be up all night getting it finished.

So fair enough, i as a student would gratefully do anything for €300! After school i went to buy some ink, then i went home and installed it….. the printer said:

Cannot Recognise Ink
Please insert Magenta: T07013

But the problem was, the ink i had meet those standards. Just a little frustrated i rang “the oul’ doll” (my mother) and asked her to bring me back into town to get more ink….

I went back into the shop and they concluded that it was a faulty cartridge, so they replaced it for me. I went home again and installed the ink again only to find the same f***n error message. I stayed up all night and tried everything i could but i still could not get it working!

Eventually I gave up and that left me minus €40 (for the ink) and plus one very unhappy client. I paid good money for that printer – only two weeks ago – and it better not be a hardware problem. I know of others that have had simular problems with printers….

Before I die i entend to make a printer that actually works.
