No - not THAT kind of hardware. The computer kind!
Today I was bemoaning the fact that the pages I was printing for my critique group meeting were taking forever. Now, I have a very nice little Deskjet 880C printer that can do glorious color printing and even photo quality. But it’s definitely set up for that and NOT speedy black & white printing.
We won’t go into the fact that, had I actually thought about it, I could have started to print said pages last night instead of this morning. Sigh….
But the lovely C and I were talking and he was having to endure my bitching so he suggested we look into what a small laserjet printer would cost. Since he was going to Costco with Morganator while I was at the critique group AND he’s the resident hardware guru, I asked him to look into it.
And off I merrily went to the meeting.
When I get home, I tell him how things went and ask him how Morganator did. All was well. Then I ask if he looked at the printers at Costco and found anything suitable and how much….
He says “Did you look on the stairs?”
I was boggled. Usually it takes C a while to determine what hardware is the best deal/best option. But the man did deal with a LOT of printers and printer companies for a while….
On the stairs was the lovely box for a brand spanking new HP LaserJet 1160Le. Up to 20 ppm and a decent paper tray capacity!
I just got it all set up and drivers installed, I’ll have to make another trip to fetch its paper so I’ve not printed anything yet.
But what a loving hubby!
