BM advised Miss D to get one a while back and on the strength of that ( eeek:) I bought one too. Seems OK, bit slow though

Alternative is to not buy a photo-printer at all.

Take your piccies on a CD/stick to somewhere like Jessops and get them printed there. Their prices are quite good and no worries about printers working, cost of ink paper etc.
Also, I am still not convinced that printed piccies will last - ie inks fade/vanish.

I think they are much more stable than they used to be...

Also, is it possible to buy a non-photo quality printer now...?  rubschin:

Depends if you want colour or not.

I'm quite happy with my mono laser.

Photos are commited to CD/DVD.

My problem is that I have loads of slides and photos that are obviously digital and need scanning, along with loads of family records.
I have my dads Fleet Air Arm service record/flag - it is cloth and somewhere approaching A3 size - a real bugger to digitise.

I found my dad's Navy service records last week!  cloud9:

Got one anyway, but managed to jam it on its maiden run.

My brother has a similar problem. Like you he has large hands/fingers (see I do notice these things) and he claims that is the problem. I suspect the size of the hands/fingers has something to do with the sort of job he does (who has ever seen a butcher with piano player's hands?) Not to put too fine a point upon it brute force is his method. Maybe you should get Mrs G or even Mini Moose to put the paper in for you.

I know, I know. Bloody shameful. redface:

I may summon a teenager to check it out for me before deafeatism.

MM came to my rescue last night while i was trying to install the bloody ink tray and ink cartridges, and getting meself extremelly annoyed cus they wouldn't fit.

I reckon I was actually within 60 seconds of breaking summat, then she calmly pointed out that "these orange things that are in the bloody way, and don't seem to serve any piggin' purpose whatsbloodyever", were in fact 'in transit protectors'. ::)
