I hate being the home IT guy

I'm so proud of myself I could just spit! I successfully installed our wireless printer so that we can print, fax, etc. from any computer (3) in the house! Woot! I can fax my favorite recipes from my kitchen to whomever I wish. I still hate being the one who has to do this stuff and so wish I could palm it off to someone else. Now I need to figure out how to print junk from my phone.
Good for you! I set a wireless printer up at my office and one for my son and his family. I was pleased with myself too!
I don't have a wireless printer at home............yet.

I found a good deal on a wireless printer last Christmas for my son. I'll watch the sales at Christmas. I don't print much of anything, so printing from the PC isn't that big an inconvenience; but I'll keep my eyes open for a deal.

I got the HP Envy 5530 when I upgraded to Win 10. I like it a lot. I scan quite a bit. It was $79 at Best Buy.

I got the HP Officejet Pro and set it up so that I can print from anywhere in the house. It was not expensive (little over $100 maybe) and it also serves as a fax machine. It is larger than our previous printer, but permits me to print recipes from the computer in the kitchen so I'm a happy camper. I like that I can print pictures off my phone if I want as well. I just wish I weren't the one who had to do this. +1 has his own small printer but occasionally uses the office printer when he wants to print something that is a large file. Now I can move on and bake up that casserole recipe I printed the other day.

Sent a 30 pg fax out yesterday for +1. Easy/beezy. I had to get call-waiting stopped on our landlines (yes, we still have a landline) so an incoming call wouldn't interrupt but that too was easy. Do I have Carly Fiorina to thank for this? Or her successor, perhaps?
