Printer go Poof! New printer zing.  

It was important that I keep the ability to print on CDs and DVDs, so I stayed with Epson (Rosie was thinking about Kodak because of the ink cost, but I'm seeing very bad reviews, so I passed this time). and ended up with an Epson Artisan 800. It's wireless via 802.11B/G (the panel talks about BlueTooth, but I couldn't get that working), and prints CDs and DVDs. Printing envelopes will probably be a little harder, but oh well.

Won't install on my Windows 7 computer, but I can't say that I'm surprised either. I'll have to go to the website and see what they have to say.

At this point, I'm ready for bed. Good night!

Update:

It installed as a generic Epson printer. Now I don't get the fancy icon about ink levels and such. Oh well. I did get it working as a scanner though (which I find out, but hey!). I had to set it up manually, scanning didn't work (which is why I think it didn't install, but I turned the idiot fire wall off. Who knows!). When I used Windows 7 to install, it scanned and found it.

It works. That's all I care about now.
