There's nothing quite like putting the ink cartridges in upside down to slow the process of installing a new printer. Funny how doing so jams up the carriage path, too.
The printed user documentation was of no help at all, but one of HP's online support videos soon set me right.
The printer has printed an alignment page and is now doing all sorts of interesting things via the web installation process.
[Time passes. Not enough for it to be many moons, or for buffalo to cross the great prairie, but, yes, insert a few minutes reading user agreements, a PC magazine review of HP ePrint services, finding a suitable test file, and responding to an unrelated email message confirming the giveaway of back issues of AIR to members of Detcon1...]
Okay. Color me impressed. Before printing so much as a single document sent directly from my computer, my HP Officejet 7610 wirelessly received email and printed a pdf of the suite I'll be running as the Slan Shack, all in under 5 minutes. It was so fast, I didn't even pay attention to how long it took between sending the email and having a printed page appear behind my back.
I love living in the future. Now to see how it does with the posters for this year's Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony. Tickets for the September 18th festivities go on sale this coming Tuesday, July 8th.
