Coming Clean

So, I’ve had this printer… for over 2 years now… and I’ve never been able to get it installed right because it’s got a complicated software suite for a driver instead of JUST A FREAKIN’ DRIVER!!!

So, anyways, the symptom I would always have with this beast would be that after like 2 hours of fumbling around with installing/uninstalling the driver, I’d finally be able to get my printer to print.

…until I wanted to install some other piece of software, at which point Windows would say “Hey, you’ve got this incomplete driver installation… I should uninstall it before I install anything else, okay?” And I would sigh and hit okay and watch 4 more hours of pain and suffering being born before my eyes.

But today, something new happened. It worked. First time through. Past the regular hang-up spot and closed itself without any error messages or ctrl-alt-del fiascos.

…so, I’m happy that it’s installed now… …but I’m still mad that it took 2 years before it decided to cooperate.

weird. frustrating. done.

I will never uninstall this printer. …that is unless it has me fooled and will uninstall itself the next time I install some new software
