I just spent 3 and 1/2 hours at my mom's house trying to figure out why her new scanner and her new printer did not work with her new computer.
After plugging and unplugging, loading software and unistalling software and loading it again, downloading drivers, etc, etc....well, it turned out mom had not flipped the "on button" on the back of the scanner.
Three and 1/2 hours of my life.
Then we moved onto the printer...I did a little of thisa and a little of thata, then I had a thought...
ME: mom, did you actually try to print anything?
MOM: No, because I thought it was not installed correctly.
I then opened up wordperfect, typed a sentence, hit print. I worked just fine.
I then said good night to my mom and am now home.
