How hard can it be to print something from a tablet to a wireless printer?
Kelli got that call from her mother, so after we had dried ourselves off from our bout in the pool we cycled up there to try to sort it out.
Yes all the apps had been installed so we thought it was a five minute job, but nothing involving her mother is a five minute job.
What she was trying to do was print a label to send something back to an online supplier using a UPS application.
We went through the simple process, we had the label on the screen, but there was no way we could print it, the icon was greyed out.
So this started an hour long investigation into why the function would not work. I’m not used to an Android system, so I thought Kelli would be able to sort it out. She was as confused as I was. Whilst this was happening her mother had a number of other things that needed to go back to EBay, so Kelli engaged herself as a customer service person and was on the phone trying to sort that problem out.
Eventually, wracked with frustration, I had the information emailed to me, and I was able to call up the label and print it, but we never got to the bottom of the original problem.
The temperature soared Ito the top eighties by midday so the was a limited time to do anything strenuous. We had people coming round to pick up the entertainment centre that we finished yesterday, much to our relief.
Although it is still early in the month we have sold just two pieces so far. It is too hot to work for long periods, we just need to keep progress going.
