Last week I tried to get my invoicing done on Thursday so I could go fishing
on Friday. No such luck. I spent the whole afternoon tackling a takeover.
Programming and testing was no big deal, and the add-ons the customer
purchased made it worth while.

Friday I headed into the office bright and early thinking I would crank them
out and get it going. First thing I did was load up a bunch of envelopes in
the ol' high (relatively) speed inkjet and set it to print them while I
finished invoicing. It trashed more envelopes than it printed. Oh, well.
Sent the envelope job to the older printer on the network, and it printed
them ok. 2-3 at a time between paper jams. Grrrrrr.....

Thinking to save my self a bunch of time in the future I headed over to the
office supply store to buy a new printer. I bought a nice fast laser
printer. Spent a half an hour getting it loaded on the network so all the
computers could use it, and ran a test page from each machine. Cool. I
loaded a stack of window envelopes in the tray and sent a print job to run
off a hundred envelopes.... oops. Not a good idea. It melted the window
in a dozen envelopes before I could get it shut off. LOL.

Spent the rest of the day printing my envelopes in the old inkjet at slower
than crud speeds and unjammed it every few envelopes. I think it actually
felt sorry for me, because by the end it was running 30-40 envelopes between
jams.

Oh, well. You gotta love this planned obsolescence.

Much easier to just print labels...not as pretty though.

Actually...MUCH easier to use window envelopes that fit your invoices!...no
envelope printing at all that way!!

Pretty little logo and return address on envelope. Worked great for a long
time, but alas the expensive high speed inkjet is dying. Still handles
plain paper ok, but it won't handle anything else well anymore. I can use
it for invoicing, except this new laser does that so much faster.
