Ugh. People ask me how I got so good with technology. They think I'm kidding when I tell them I broke everything first. I'm so sorry about the printer. Good luck cleaning the Barbie juice out of it. (Said in a tone like Indiana Jones referencing snakes) Pink. Why did it have to be pink???
Or maybe this is motivation to edit on the screen? (Ew)
I appreciate you sharing about the challenges with health and mobility that so many of us suffer from.
Barbie has never been a big thing in my home, mainly because of my overreactions during Christmas time.
I refuse to walk down a pink isle when looking for toys. If you put something on the Barbie isle, I won't buy it. Ever.
Last time we went shopping and my wife wanted to buy a Barbie for one of the kids back in, oh, 1996 maybe? Toys R Us....and I screamed in that store.
"Oh HELL no! I will NOT spend a moment of my attention on Barbie. I won't stop you from buying her for our girls, but Ken is OFF LIMITS! If that girl is gonna be paired up with ANYONE, then she's required to date a guy with a REAL job. I'll be in the isle with J.I. Joe!"
Mothers laughed. So did my wife.
...but J.I. Joe got lucky that year...and I officially became a match-maker.
Yup, learn by pushing buttons and failing faster. Get the mistakes out of the way, so you can move onto the skills.
I've cleaned the magenta from the cartridges a few days ago -- thinking there may have been a leak -- but I wanted to use as much of the ink as I could (it's SO expensive), that I ignored the thought that perhaps it was cracked or broken in a way that it simply needed to be replaced.
This is Murphy taking advantage of my slothfulness.
Ugh, that sucks - but I would point out that trying to get your money's worth from an expensive purchase isn't slothful. Ultimately, this one didn't pay off, but next time you'll know to check for a crack. But won't you still try to tape it closed and get your money's worth? I guess the outcome of the cleaning project will have some influence on that!
I honestly can't find the crack. It looks like something one one side of the roller. Not knowing what the parts are, or how they function make me paranoid. The last thing I want to do is possibly break the printer.
Right now it's dirty -- so I'll take out the ink cartridges -- then clean the printer and start with a fresh set of cartridges.

Ugh. There are those days that nothing goes right... but I really appreciated your priority list. Great breath control, my friend!
Today I get to take things apart and hopefully (fingers crossed, God willing) save my new beloved printer! Wish me luck!
I do wish you luck! Hopefully all that powder just blows away and leaves the printer perfectly functional.
I think part of this is my fault.

...and the powder sticks.
Badly.

Let us know how it goes/went...
