new skill??

What to do when your printer stops printing?

A. Call someone who is a computer repair man?

B. Find and read the printer manual?

C. Tear it apart and try and figure out what is wrong, fix it, and put it back together?

I of course picked C.

Kind of scared at this point.

Those 3 thingies came off the printer with the lid.....

Looked inside. Oh.... spring loose and stretched. Cut some off. Reattached where it looked like it went....I had no idea... just a guess.

Try and piece it back together. Not too hard.

Wish my hands were a bit smaller.

There.

I think.
Turn on printer. Hit test print.

And surprise surprise....paper came out with ink on it!!!!

The spring I just took out and cut a bit off.

Bing??? He helped by snoring loudly next to me on my desk.

I am so proud of myself. I now have a new job skill. I think? Now where do I fit that in. Would it be next to "finding incredibly small lost item in a house full of junk" or "reviving a dead baby turtle?" ?
