Re: HP Photosmart C7250 All-in-one Printer Issues

Dearest Doug,

I'm sorry, but you just don't get to decide what I can or can't, should or shouldn't contribute here. You also don't get to decide what other consider valuable or not. I also have the right to ignore your "requests".

However, I do respect your right to voice your opinion here.

Although I encourage people with questions to post here, after all, the principle purpose of a news group is to disseminate information and try to help one another, it appears, at least on this list with your current address, that you have posted all of half a dozen times, about a specific problem you have with your printer.

In the last 30 days, while you have categorized me as someone who seems to like to hear myself speak (or type in this case) I have legitimately answered 17 questions which were asked on this newsgroup alone. I also provided on topic commentary to about 5 or so other emails. In that period, I added a couple of off the cuff and humorous comments, one was in regard to your request, in part because it was the third or four posting you had made here, and although you received a number of suggestions, you never provided any feedback as to if anything suggested worked.

I can understand that you are frustrated that your printer is not working as you wish it to, and that you have been unable to get a reasonable response to your query. I apologize that you feel you were slighted or not taken seriously enough. If anyone can possible help you with your issue it is probably Bob Headrick, who is on this newsgroup and has connections with HP's printer division. You might wish to look him up on this list and address your question to him.

Dearest Doug,

I know words like "hijack" sound so officious in these days where
everyone is looking for a terrorist behind every potted plant, but I
hardly "hijacked" anything. Your query still remains for anyone wishing
to supply an answer more to your liking, or of more value, and I
certainly hope you encounter someone here who is willing to take the
time and effort to do so. In fact, if anything, my reply might have
allowed more people re read it since I quoted the whole thing in my reply.

I'm sorry that someone "hijacked" your sense of humor, and I hope it
finds it's way home eventually.

I certainly am quite willing to make a point of not contributing to any
more of your requests or queries in this newsgroup, as I wouldn't want
to add any further angst to your already obviously very harried life.

I think your printer is lonely and looking for friends. It's not easy
being a lone printer among a bunch of computers. You get very little
respect as a printer these days. As soon at the toner or ink cartridges
run out, you often just end up in a closet or basement, or worse still,
the garbage.
With such a short lifespan, printers feel the need to talk a lot, try to
open up lines of communications, and hope to meet someone with similar
interests nearby. They want to feel needed, so they are constantly
asking the computers, "hey, I'm still here, got anything for me to
print, huh?, huh?"
It's sad, and to make things even worse, you're threatening to send it
back to the store in a box, just because it wants some love. Just put
yourself in its paper tray and see how you'd feel.

I have had a series of problems with this printer. The latest
included the printer continuously transmitting wirelessly to computers
set up to use it as a wireless printer. The printer, for some reason,
continuously transmits to associated computers. The computers'
wireless adapters are recieving transmissions every 1-2 seconds, even
though there are no printing activities going on. If i turn the
printer or the printer's radio off, all of the communication I see on
the computers' wireless adapters goes away. Had a frustrating
online chat with a tech support rep from HP who insisted this is
normal wireless behaviour. If there are no print requests being made,
why is the printer constantly communicating with the computers (I am
getting a transmission indication every 1 - 2 seconds). And it is the
printer. I disabled all HP running processes on one computer and the
transmissions continued. They only stopped when i turned the
printer's radio off. Any ideas out there on what to do apart from
returning the printer? HP's recommendation was to turn the printer's
radio off and only turn it on when I wanted to print. I have four
computers spread out throughout the house, but I won't be installing
the printer on the remaining two printers. Has anyone seen this
behaviour on their wireless printers. Is it a HP characteristic or do
all wireless printers to this? Thanks.
Doug
For Arthur,
Thanks so much for your insight and hijacking of this thread. If this
is what you are going to contribute, please don't.

Arthur,

I asked that if you had nothing to contribute, please refrain from
posting. It is simply a distraction that is not appreciated by
anybody. I have a great sense of humour. It gets thrown out when
people like yourself (who seem to like to hear themselves speak,
regardless of the relevance) foist themselves into a conversation they
have nothing to contribute to. As I said in my original post (which
you seem to have ignored), if this is what you are going to
contribute, please don't bother.

Doug
