The car went back last month at the end of its lease but yesterday I\u00a0returned a pile of technology\u00a0to the office including mobile\u00a0phone, laptop, monitor, printer.<\/p>\n<p>Hang on. Printer. I&#8217;m not the only user of that particular device&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I\u00a0never liked it anyway &#8211; I&#8217;ve had a succession of OfficeJet all-in-one devices since I swapped out\u00a0my trusty old LaserJet for a company-supplied\u00a0printer and\u00a0I&#8217;ve\u00a0found\u00a0inkjet devices to be expensive in consumables (non-OEM cartridges\u00a0gunking up; OEM cartridges running out even when they say they have ink in them) and\u00a0the HP OfficeJet 4620 that I&#8217;ve used for the last couple of years was particularly unreliable from a software perspective too. So I decided to pick up a small-office laser printer instead and the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.samsung.com\/uk\/support\/model\/SL-C410W\/SEE\">Samsung SL-C410W<\/a> was just \u00a3130 for a colour laser printer.<\/p>\n<p>Of course some will say, if I think ink cartridges are expensive, wait until I have to buy toner and the other items that the new printer will need but we&#8217;re talking in\u00a0thousands of pages here&#8230; for someone who gets through about a box of paper (2500 sheets) every 2 years or so (and half of that has been taken by the kids for drawing)!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, back to the point. The SL-C410W was available at a great price direct from Samsung (\u00a320 cheaper than John Lewis or PC World &#8211; and Staples were way off the mark), with free next-day\u00a0delivery. Setup was simple, following the supplied instructions to get\u00a0connected to my Wi-Fi network (although I did install the software on a PC and use the supplied USB cable to make things easy). \u00a0There were a couple of points that it might have been useful to know though:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/support\/answer\/ANS00039373\/812094875\/CLP-315\/XAA\">Setting a static IP address<\/a> needed a connection to the printer&#8217;s SyncThru web service &#8211; either using the supplied software to find the device on the network or using the DHCP logs to work out which IP address it was using and going to\u00a0<code>http:\/\/ipaddress\/sws\/index.html<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li>Once\u00a0in SyncThru,\u00a0login is required to make changes &#8211; default username is <code>admin<\/code> and password is <code>sec00000<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With the\u00a0password and IP address changed and discovery services configured, our family PC (running\u00a0Windows 8.1) automatically found and connected to the printer, whilst the Windows 7 PCs only needed me to\u00a0walk through a wizard (printer and driver location was automatic).<\/p>\n<p>That just left the issue of copying &#8211; a feature on the OfficeJet that we do use sometimes. Here, some\u00a0open source software called <a href=\"http:\/\/icopy.sourceforge.net\/\">iCopy<\/a> came to the rescue. \u00a0It does exactly what it says on the tin &#8211; provides a &#8220;free photocopier&#8221;\u00a0by\u00a0linking a scanner and a printer &#8211; nothing that can&#8217;t be done manually but a single button\u00a0was helpful for family members who use this feature.<\/p>\n<p>The only slight problem was <a href=\"http:\/\/answers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/forum\/windows_7-hardware\/driver-for-canonscan-n650u-for-windows-7\/0ca52c21-0c82-4202-b5f5-4ba5601d9797\">locating Windows Image Aquisition (WIA) drivers for my elderly CanoScan N650U\/N656U<\/a>\u00a0with Canon not offering anything for Windows 7 and the Internet seemingly littered with dead links. \u00a0Luckily, <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.h34th.net\/2011\/12\/old-canoscan-wia-drivers.html\">Tom Heath has posted a link to the drivers<\/a>\u00a0and these worked a treat.<\/p>\n<p>Only time will tell whether the SL-C410W was a wise buy or not &#8211; but at least my\u00a0family have a means to print homework, my wife has a printer (and copier) again for her work, and I have something that should be reasonably reliable and hassle-free&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">As the HP OfficeJet pile of uselessness goes back to my employer, let&#8217;s hope this replacement is better&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/qW25QXVSRz\">pic.twitter.com\/qW25QXVSRz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mark Wilson (@markwilsonit) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/markwilsonit\/status\/595594780542926849\">May 5, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>*\u00a0There are lots of upsides too &#8211; including\u00a0that my new &#8220;laptop&#8221; will be a Surface Pro 3, and that I&#8217;ll be using modern software to help me in my work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One downside of moving jobs is that I&#8217;ve had to give back all of the kit\u00a0I was using that belongs to Fujitsu*.
