SUCCESS.

I got my printer networked to my laptop and the desktop in my room.  I’m very happy.  I was having so much trouble.  It’s a HP Photosmart 2575 and whenever I’d try to add it through the network I’d get "Cannot find printer" or whatever it was.  I fixed that just by turning off Zonealarm and using the Windows firewall instead.  THEN I started getting this "0×000003eb" error when I’d tried to add it.  I guess the Printer’s firmware doesn’t support Vista or something. 

I finally said fuck it and took my ethernet cable and just plugged the printer directly into my router, went into the printer’s options, and printed off the network settings.  Then I downloaded the software/drivers from HP and when it asks if the computer is plugged in locally or through a network, I chose network and voila it automatically recognized it.  FUCK Vista’s software for setting up printer sharing.

So there you have it.  Problem solved, I kick ass, etc.

Now I have to do 20 self-assessments and print off the results then write out any patterns that I find and whether or not I agree.  Fun stuff, yeah?

PEACE

Well I’m back for a quick update.  HP SUCKS.  Fuck that company and their low-quality printers.  Don’t buy HP.  Ever.  In fact all printers suck.  When are we going to get past the point of cutting down trees to print shit out when we can just use a computer monitor?  Therefore, teachers who require printed stuff SUCK.  We’re supposed to be in the digital age, people and here I am fiddling around with a fucking print tray that keeps jamming paper or not feeding the paper in properly.  I’m boycotting HP and printers in general.  I suggest you do the same.
