One of my offices got a new printer and needed it to be setup on the print server.  Not a problem, I thought, this will take all of 10 minutes to do.  Well I go to configure the printer with the driver cd that came with it and recieved this gem of an error message.

“Cannot print because the version of the device controller function is old.  Contact the administrator for details”

I scratched my head and tried another driver.  This time it printed to the printer but gave a 854 error code in the job status.  At this point, I am furious!  It should not be this hard to configure a damned printer.

The last straw was to download drivers from the internet.  I got PS drivers instead of the PCL drivers that was provided on the CD.  This worked like a charm!  Next task is to get scanning to work!!!

Come tomorrow, the hits to this blog will more than likely surpass the amount of posts that I have…

Does this mean we are failing at the failure of Project Failure?  Time will tell.  I am not overly surprised that I am generating hits but I am surpised that I am generating this many hits.  I am now averaging about 3 hits a day for this week.  Again, the purpose of this blog is no advertising other than google…perhaps I am doing well in the titles I am picking.

The knowledge bases help.  They seem to generate the most amount of hits.  I have at least 120 kb articles that I have written over the years that  I can include on this site not to mention the new content I am providing as the need comes up. 

To make sure that Project Failure continues to fail, I will say I want to generate 20 hits a day before I will make the statement that I want 40 hits a day

Sadly, I really wanted to know how to use Flip 3D.  I am kind of disappointed with what it actually is.  It is just ALT Tab in 3D…

So I came into work this morning and everything was cool.  I needed to install a larger capacity tape drive.  I took out the old one and took out the cdrom drive as well.  The newer tape drive required two bays instead of your standard one.  I go to put the tape drive in the bay and it does not fit!.

 It turns out that the server has grooves for the bays and my tape drive does not fit with the grooves.  I didn’t have the tools to properly bend the server into place, so I closed her up and informed my boss.  I am hoping that he doesn’t tell me to modify the case.  I always hate doing stuff like that

Another day in paradise!
