Question for IT goons. I have an old Thinkpad with XP and it's refusing to install the wireless drivers for my printer, is it because it just doesn't want to play with XP? I tried re configuring the system utility per Canon and it still didn't work. I've spent hours trying to get it to work and I'm ready to throw it out the loving window.

Try adding the printer via IP address and when it asks for the driver direct it to the .inf on the cd at that point.


edit: add a printer. Select local printer (not network). select create new port then (TCP/IP) from the drop down. type the ip address of the printer it's port name should auto populate. click next, then it'll try to figure out what you have, that's going to fail it always does unless it's an old printer.. At which point you add it via cd drive/folder.

I haven't added any AI goons on facebook but I have been in the AI group since it started. To be fair most of my posting is just family related things and radio controlled stuff. I generally like to comment on other peoples stuff rather than overshare too much stuff. I tend to stay out of politically charged things as well. Way back when I first joined SA there were a couple of great SA Goons groups but during the revamping of facebook and groups and whatever I lost touch with where those all went but still have a few goon friends who post some very goony things. I am not opposed to AI friends Look for a Steve B in the AI group

It's really cool when your department head comes into your lab 15 minutes before the end of the day and starts reaming you and your coworkers out because we apparently gently caress around too much and that I personally have a terrible reputation with a lot of people for whatever reason

Between this and the wreck and how much my life is an empty meaningless sham of an existence I'm so close to just giving up altogether because nothing in life actually brings me any sort of joy or feeling of accomplishment

I'm really thinking about just saying gently caress it and doing a setup like Adiabatic has on the spare lot. Was playing with stuff earlier and the only way I can fit a lift in the garage and still park two cars is by putting it in a corner...wish the stupid useless bathroom wasn't there.

That said I might do it anyways, need more space and I'm sick of the VW sitting outside. First world problems...

Another thread I managed to miss. Here's hoping for a slow day at work tomorrow.


Today was one of those days that just dragged on and on. Woke up at 4am, got to work at 5:30 for some power work scheduled to start at 6:30. No one else showed up until 7:45. What was supposed to be done by 2 didn't end until 4:30. Get power back and the whole system goes ape poo poo and I spend 45 minutes rebooting things and trying to get it to stabilize. Finally leave work and there was a wreck so I had to go back around the long way...hour and a half to get home.

Just need to get through two more days then test drive the next toy Friday/Saturday and a friends birthday party Saturday night. Will try to remember to post things to facebook as well as snapchat, should be a very AI weekend. If you haven't go ahead and add me, Blake in TN.

I just finished my taxes a few minutes ago and it turns out the one employer up in Fountain Hills screwed me by not putting my tax percentage down correctly. I choose the highest percent for state taxes (5.7% or whatever it is) in arizona but they only withdrew the minimum, 2%. Ended up dropping my refund by $600. I distinctly remember withdrawing an extra $25/paycheck for federal taxes, as well, but it also dropped my federal. Something is shady, but I don't technically owe anything, so I'm just glad to be washing my hands of that lovely, lovely place. In fact, that place is so lovely I received this email a month or so ago (I quit in March 2014):

quote:

To all our valued patients:

Due to the numerous changes to healthcare in 2014 and all the Healthcare Exchange mandates that we have had to implement this year, it has now come to light that some of our infrastructure in the area of eyewear orders has had gaps. This may have caused significant delays on orders as a result. We recognize this and have taken steps to correct the issues, including a new management structure within the office.

For those of you who have received excellent service from our staff, you will continue to receive the same great service you have come to know. For those of you who have not had proper service from our office, please know that we will take the steps to earn back your trust and that our issues that caused the problems are now resolved. We sincerely apologize for not exceeding your expectations as we always strive to do.

As administrators as well as clinical doctors, we love to hear when you have a great experience, but we NEED to know when you don't.

So please let us know if you have any concerns so that we can continue to improve our systems. We would appreciate you taking the time to email us at dickless.theclown@<eyecare center>.com and we will take care of you.

Thank you for your time.

Drs Dickless and The Clown, Founders <eyecare center>

They've had one manager in the office for nearly a decade, and he's a big dick that refuses to own a home computer ("I can do everything from my phone!") and thinks the foxbody mustang is god's gift to man, except that he sucks so much at wiring he was asking me daily to google up wiring diagrams (dude, it's literally "<insert year> mustang wiring diagram") or how to check for shorts ("Buy a multimeter." "What's a multimeter? Those yellow things the electric guy has with two needles?"). Has a full neckbeard and constantly says "I have a resting rear end in a top hat face," even to customers. Only reason he lasted so long is that old women were hot on him or something, and old women comprise 90% of Fountain Hills' bank card holders.

Also, how do you restructure managment? There are five people that work there, including the optometrist, three opticians, and the manager (who is also an optician). It's one of those places where both owners are also optometrists, but they only work one day a week every other week (and switch off at that, so they each only work once a month). And every time they would work, we would get remakes and returns on glasses because both of them suck so much at actually being eye doctors, and have no bedside manner or patient rapport, that their actual presence cost the business money. The regular optometrist was cool as gently caress, but even he was getting tired of dealing with the owners.


I worked multiple jobs last year and the rest did everything properly, so gently caress that place I'm glad to be done.
