Yeah, that's why I've always bought laser printers. I can do without color printing. If I need something in color, I'll go to Kinkos.

I'm trying to be fiscally prudent, since I work for a state agency and all. But this is crazy. I have a crappy laser printer that drops more toner on the sheet where there isn't text than where there is, and can only be connected to the old XP machine, and can't be shared. And I have the sweet multi-purpose machine that costs a fortune in ink, but scans my receipts rather nice. I can't get rid of the scanner guy, I use it. But I'm real tempted to dump the old laser printer and get a cheap Brother and be done with it. I don't print that much, so that laser cartridge will probably last me a long time. And just never print on the inkjet multi-purpose guy.

Wordpress question: if I now have two blogs, how do I separate between them so I'll be able to access both of them with different usernames and different passwords?

Do you mean completely separate blogs with different URLs and ne'er the twain shall meet? You'll need to install Wordpress twice in two different directories and two different databases.

But if you wanted to use Wordpress.com you just need to set up an account with a different email address.

That's what I thought. And did. And yet, it only allows me to access both of them with one username and one password.

Shit. I was worried about it. Any way to import everything into installment #2? I really worked hard on blog #2 (which is Hollaback Israel) yesterday, and I'd hate do everything from scratch today.

Are you using Wordpress.com to host your blog(s), or are you self-hosting via the Wordpress.org download package?

I think Wordpress hosts my blogs. I can't even remember if I downloaded anything when I started my academic blog (probably just the start up package), but I'm not paying for any hosting service.

If this doesn't look familiar, then you are probably using Wordpress.com to host and my comment above does not apply.

Nope, did it the other way. But thank you.

Any other ideas?

I recall NoiseDesign mentioning he just buys a new printer, it's easier, and about the same price.

I actually haven't done that in quite a long while. I am all inkjet at this point though. Epson is one of the worst offenders in ink unfortunately. Their printers will often shut down completely when they detect low ink in one cartridge, even if there is still some remaining in the cartridge and then force you to replace it.

I ended up buying three HP inkjets (one for the office, one for the house, and a large format) that are from their business line. They are very fast printers, and they all use the same ink system. The ink tanks are not part of the print head, and therefore aren't quite as expensive and they hold a lot more ink. I can also get the cartridges at Costco in three packs with the XL capacity as a good cost savings. Finally the HP will let me continue to print until the cartridge is totally drained and pages are coming out blank.
