QUESTION: I run an online business from home and I do a lot of black and white printing. I have an HP 1610 printer and the ink is costing me a fortune. Do you know of a printer that is reasonably priced and gets you the most prints for a cartridge of ink? I would appreciate any advice or help you could give me. Thank you for your time - Kris ANSWER: I'm not surprised to hear that the ink for your printer is costing you a fortune. I hear the same story from almost everyone I know who owns… Continue reading...
I'm already bored with 3D movies. Yes, Avatar was amazing to watch in 3D but every 3D movie I have seen since has been a regular 'ol movie with 3D forced upon it. In other words, the 3D didn't add anything to the movie for me. In fact, given the choice between a movie shown in both 2D and 3D, I almost always pick the 2D one. But just as I was about to abandon all hope for 3D technology, I stumbled upon this video demonstrating 3D printing. If you're as puzzled as I was when you read the words… Continue reading...

One day you're printing a bunch of documents and the next, you're dead in the water. The paper is jamming, the ink is smearing, or just nothing prints at all. Or you get the mysterious red flashing light that gives you little indication as to the true underlying problem. If you feel alone with these issues you're not. In fact, Matthew Inman has created what I think is one of the funniest depcitions of printers… Continue reading...

Why is printing web pages still such a headache?
Today I wanted to print a fairly lengthy blog post that had over 100 comments. But I didn't want to print the comments. Yet there was no easy way for me to print only the blog content.
Sure, I could have kept guessing at what page range to print but I have better things to do with my time.
Someone make this easier. Please. Continue reading...
