HP inkjet printer heading for the bin, not seeing the print head. I offered to take a look but they bought a new one. A bit of cleaning on the mechanical contacts within the print head block seems to have cured the fault code but they stuck some old cartridges in locked up by HP Instant Ink scheme so I cannot test it yet. Scans okay and double sided too, might take a punt on a cheap CISS for it rather than cartridges.

I once watched 2 drunk guys on a ride on mower getting arrested in a McDonald's drive through, there was a miscommunication when the cops called for a truck to collect the mower and an artic truck with a 40ft low loader turned up to collect it.

HP printers won't do well with some 'compatible' cartridges as the originals are filled under pressure, also refilling originals is the same.
I managed to find some online at eBay for my Deskjet 1220C iirc which, so far, are doing the job....much cheaper #fingers crossed

We're registered to the HP instant ink thing, on the free scheme, we don't print much at all so it's just free ink for us, if we occasionally go over the free allowance it's 10p a sheet, can't grumble at all.

I signed up this morning to enable the cartridges hoping do a bit more diagnostics, the HP Jailor very kindly unlocked them and I set to only to get the printhead missing code back when trying to print. Now I do need new cartridges as the factory reset has done a fierce ink purge and emptied them, it will not proceed until the new cartridges arrive from HP! I was looking at getting a new printer as my Epson Photo printer and Epson Photo Scanner are old and will not work on newer versions of Windoze plus the printhead is not well on that one too.

They'll get you, one way or the other.
My Epson scanner [will cope with prints & transparencies up to 10" x 8"
] won't work with newer versions of Windoze because Epson steadfastly refuse to produce an appropriate driver to enable that - that's why I keep an old l/top with Win XP purely for scanning now. It's a bit of a faff, scanning and then copying the result(s) onto a USB flash drive but I can then transfer the files into either Win 7 [desktop] or Win 10 on my laptop.There are workarounds to fix that, but I never had much success & gave up. Google is your friend if you want to try for yourself though.

I have had the scanner working under 8.1 using another driver but it’s a bit flaky and none of the old features are there. I suppose the printer and scanner are best part of 20 years old though.
Anyway, that’s set aside as I have a new toy today after posting in the toolbox thread, just hope it will go in the car and truck!

Two weeks ago I acquired the knowledge that I can not move in my garage, I can not use anything in my garage and I certainly can not acquire any more machinery until I have more space, some uncluttered floor to stand on and a replacement for the temporary set up I made for the Drummond two and a half years ago.
It has been hard work but...
The Drummond has a new permanent home and I have some free floor space that will allow me to use it.
The bench has three sets of legs which is generally not a good idea except the Drummond has all the weight on the left hand side where it would have originally bolted to a cast iron chip tray. The plan is to build a 18mm ply cupboard carcase under each side, probably with shelves for materials storage boxes to the left and a set of draws to the right. It was planned to take a metal 5 or 7 draw tool chest to the right but I have gone off that idea, I'll probably post again in two years showing pictures of the solution.
For now it is time to do more sorting out, need more space, need more machinery.

Today I acquired the ability to breathe some fresh air after spending 2 & half weeks in an air-conditioned hospital, ambulance home last night arrived back at 11:00. Those ambulance stretchers are definitely built to keep you in one location, not for comfort. The crazy thing is I have to go back again Monday morning hopefully I get to come home again afterwards though.
Now with a smaller looking leg hopefully less infected skin, mussel and tissue also a few of bits of dead bone gone.
Now just got to get through the next 8 weeks without putting any weight through my left leg.
Am determined to spend some time getting back up to speed with Fusion 360 if I can stay awake.
I have a mini vacuum pump thing about the size of a cigarette packet strapped to my leg at the moment that is disposable and turns itself off after 7 days can't wait to pull it apart and see what's inside.

It's since I have bought the universal pilers(18) that I wanted to buy those
So now I have to buy long nose pilers next
Knipex 19 70-26-160
I already know that I'll love them
Interesting thing the edges are mill sharpened
Those are the flush cutters version
And can cut 0.5mm above flush
Of course I've already tried them and they cut hairs really well
Can't wait till Monday when them will see their first jobsite

Get on the mend first my man, just take it easy and go with the flow.
But when you get a chance, do post up a thread on this device. You've got everyone's interest now.
Extra forum points if you can find another use for it

Nearly ended up with a longer stay as they ended putting a C19 patient in with us, was admitted in his local hospital and tested neg spent a week with them had a second test at 5 days transferred to London then got a positive result once he had been in with us. They wanted to send me home without a test even though I told them my mum is in the high-risk category.Sounds nasty. Glad you on the mend
Luckily I got my all-clear result Friday afternoon.
