It seems that attempting to delete one of my two social interaction places because my printer died was not reasonable. Nor did it enable me to suddenly make friends in real life. According to my therapist if I'm worried about spending too much time here I should just set up a timer and log off once the hour is up. However my concern about mindlessly scrolling on Tumblr was only a minor consideration. It was a typical downward spiral of frustration that started it. Refillable printer was acting up ,dropping colors, and printing gradually became illegible. Cleaning the heads did nothing, and it's out of warranty. I bought the stuff to clean out the lines and carefully followed direction. Now it is even worse. Also started giving random error messages. paper won't feed, and now ink is leaking all over the place. Try to find any info. Attempt several fixes and finally took it entirely apart. Cleaned everything out. Emptied out ink vessels and refilled them. At this point I should have walked away and taken a couple of days before I continued. But I was going to fix the damn thing. I was focused. Put it all back together. Now it won't feed paper. Finally get the paper to feed and printing is blotching even worse and still missing colors and it's spouting error codes like its on LSD. Fine. At least I can still use it as a scanner.
Except suddenly it has no scanning ability. Then it turned itself off. And would not turn back on.
WARNING! WARNING! DEFCON LEVEL "EVERYTHING IS SHIT!!"
At this point I took it outside and threw it across the yard. Several times. Who needs a x!##$***!!! Printer?!! I'm never printing anything again. Who needs the internet with all its AI crap to wade through trying to find how to fix things? Who needs anything?!!! This is how we went from printer not working to deleting my Tumblr. I'm starting Yoga tomorrow night.
