I just want my new printer to meet me halfway. My old printer moans and gurgles when I press Print. I pull out the wire, twist the laptop, yank out the plug to no avail. I speak to it and remind it how well we used to work together. Silence. The ink is innocent--it's the machinery.
A Geek Squad guy tells me either the USB ports are worn out or there is a short on the mother drive. For a moment I thought he was talking about me.
I bought a new wireless printer and a new laptop. Now I get message that the laptop is not recognizing the printer. Christ, I set it up right next to it. Do I have to introduce them?
I feel impotent. I'm just a writer trying to keep up with technology, which refuses to meet me halfway.
