The printer is nice. It scans! (Expect more old Party Fears up some time.) It prints! The bundled software would
suck on Windows, let alone on a Mac, but that's fine because we don't use
it! It comes with a starter pack of high-quality photo paper and
arkady nipped out and got a ream of plain A4, so we're good to go.
Printer sharing on the Mac is pathetically easy and
the Ubuntu laptop picked it up with no problems (in fact, our first
printout was an Ubuntu colour test page). I like this new toy.
Mind you, you have to make sure your paper is in properly:
My first printout!
We reorganised
redcountess' desk so that everything fits (Mac
under desk, PC flat on desk, printer on PC where it fits exactly, monitor
on other side, there's room on the desk and you can see out the
spare room window now). Now all we need is an ADC to DVI
adapter so we can run both computers to the same monitor.
arkady has been helping with the housework today. House
inspection Tuesday morning! Yay.
Tomorrow is a Wikimedia UK meeting to start a charity. Royal Oak, 44 Tabard Street, Borough SE1 4JU. 12-2pm lunch, meet and chat, 2-6pm get stuff properly organised (once we're all a couple of pints down). Jimbo will be along.
