In my opinion, of course. But since most submissions guidelines request you not submit things on disk, it’s a pretty good idea. And now I have one.
I have seen the aisles at WalMart, and I have conquered them! Of course, it took a little cash added onto the gift card, but–I emerged triumphant! I have a printer. I have a printer cable. I have toner, I have paper. I am ready! (I have toilet paper, cat food, new shoes for the munchkin and fudge-ripple cookies, too, but that’s beside the point. Mostly. The cookies are for writing purposes, and I trust you’ll keep that in mind come tax time!)
I am ready to begin printing–just as soon as my printer acknowledges my computer exists. Everything is attached, everything looks fine. I installed the toner, and I pulled off the tape before I did. I put paper in it. I sent a document to the printer. The printer sat there, cheery on-light happily shining, and doing nothing. I checked the printer icon. Nothing in the queue. I sent it again. Nothing. The printer happily sat there.
I’m too tired. WalMart takes a toll on me. I’ll figure it out tomorrow.
