J'accuse Lexmark

What a bloody palaver! All i wanted to do was switch on my printer/scanner and scan four pages to send in an e-mail. Easy you'd think but not with an Lexmark Elephant Box. I attach the printer and the 'all in one' ['nothing at all' more like] pops up to say the printer/scanner is attached and do I wish to use the command module? Of course thinks I. BIG ELEPHANT OFF MISTAKE. The fraker hangs. I haven't used it for a year or two so I uninstall/re-install which includes 857 re-boots before re-trying and getting THE SAME ERROR! :mad: So, I went to the built in Window's scanner shyte and scanned four individual pages in a minute or so. Job done. If anyone has a suggestion what I should do with the scanner0 feel free to vent. 0 From the terrace with a good a throw I can get a 2 story drop...
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone.

The terrace is a good idea, but you end up having to clear up the mess yourself. Have you considered the "tie it to the car roof with wet spaghetti" technique? Builders use it all the time to good effect. Or there is the old favourite, particularly if you have a convertible: put it in the back with the roof down and let some toerag steal it. In desperation, there is always FleaBay. Some idiots will buy anything!

Got any spare m67's sitting around? If so, then I highly recommend this method of retirement. Retiring a washing machine[^] I retired an old phone like this once. Most pleasing experience with a Nokia to date! Alternatly, there's always something like this: Everything's gotta go![^]

Me suspects that some exaggeration is taking place! Good job on the same error by the way, better than getting random errors which keep you trying again and again. :laugh: I got an HP from 10 years back, and it still works (just to let you know)! I never bothered installing the scanning bloat ware from the CD (was outdated anyway since I moved to Win 7). I've always used the windows scan software since, it's just a minor drawback that I can't use the scan button on the printer anymore.
