I'm having scanning issues

[Rubyfruit]

Why is everything so hard?

 

[bknight2602]

Maybe its that time of the month?

 

[Pagliacci]

because it's so much more rewarding when you get it to work ?

 

[Rubyfruit]

No.

 

[Mountain Man]

Why is everything so hard?

Isn't that a good thing???

 

[Ezarc]

Why is everything so hard?

Umm, looking at your av does that for me.

 

[fuzzel]

Maybe you need to have one of those foil cone hats everyone's talking about.

*ignores the smartasses*

Darling? What's the problem with your scanner?

 

[Rubyfruit]

Okay, I think the fact that I'm having a breakdown over my scanner not working is testimony to my mental instability at the moment.

 

[Nora]

*soothes the creamy Ruby*

there, there, sugahplum...

Now, what's the mean, evil scanner doing?

[Rubyfruit]

Oh Nora, it's like my printer/scanner/copier and my computer just don't like each other anymore.

Sometimes they talk to each other and sometimes they act as if the other doesn't exist.

I've tried reasoning, pleading and begging, but they both just turn their back on me and fold their arms tighter against their hard plastic shells.

Your scanner is giving you the silent treatment? Who knew that electronics could be female?

Try reinstalling the Scanner and printer or look for updated drivers for them.

Don't forget Ruby,when all else fails,break out the sledgehammer.

 

[claude_moveml]

Is there a specific order you have to turn the power to them on? I have problems with my scanner if I don't turn it on before the computer.

 

[Nora]

*hugs the sweet Ruby*

Don't you boys be taunting her when she's fragile *growls*

Ok, sweetheart...let's see if we can figure it out before these boys make it harder than it has to be...

Did you update any of your software lately or change any of your settings?

Does your scanner need to be on before you turn on your computer? (mine does...it's a pain in the ass!)

Is your set up so that you have to have the scanner and the printer connected to one another, or is your scanner plugged directly into your computer with a USB cable?

reboot...its the only way to restore their sanity and yours

Who's taunting ?
I'm trying to be helpful here.Besides I know you're only growling because you want her to yourself.

I'm greedy like that. *grins*

 

[Rubyfruit]

Dearest Nora,

Thank you so much for coming to my rescue.

I'm afraid however, that I'm currently unable to answer any of your inquiries.

While what should have taken 15 minutes is going on three hours, it warms my heart to see my printer and computer communicating on any level.

From my observations, and RH is correct here, the printer just needed more attention, romance and foreplay before she'd let the computer dump his load in her.

Frankly, I have to admire her for holding out.

Lovingly,

Ruby

 

[RawHumor]

See. You all think I'm just a sarcastic bastard, but I'm actually correct quite often.

Now bow to me.

Very good. Now open your mouth and close your eyes.

[Nora]

I'm happy so long as you're happy, Rubycream. =)

 

[Rubyfruit]

Very good. Now open your mouth and close your eyes.

But I like to keep my eyes open!

 

[RawHumor]

But I like to keep my eyes open!

Okay, just this once.

Tomorrow we bring out the blindfold.
