The computer inkjet printer has stopped working and I can't fix it. This is both annoying and disappointing. Annoying because we recently purchased a new set of ink cartridges which are now as useful as hip pockets on a singlet. Disappointing because my sister gave it to us on our return from the UK and it's only lasted six years. I shall have to ask her if she still has the warranty card!
We had no other option than to purchase a replacement. The cheapest inkjet printer with a scanner that I could find. Eventually I settled on an Epson XP-2205 with a price of $65. Of course it will have those initial inkjet cartridges containing a very small amount of ink. A standard set of cartridges costs $80… $15 more than the cost of the printer! Obviously Epson intend to make their money from the sale of cartridges rather than printers. I have a cunning plan….
At Last
The optocouplers for the DIY yacht electronic box have finally been delivered.
They were order from Aliexpress on 25 Aug and left China on 28 Aug arriving in Australia on 1 Sep. It has taken the Australia Post blind, three legged tortoise 18 days to transport it from the postal centre in the adjacent suburb to our house. We do miss the UK where you could order something today and it would be delivered tomorrow!
The optocouplers are the final components required to complete the project.
