April 12 - Imprinted


Page 8 of Psalm 52 composed before Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story: Cool and Chichester Psalms: II, the latter for dictation / board-harmony, plus engaging student compositions of round three and Cats, Dogs, and Divas: XVIII. His Needs.  Homeward


under


active


skies, to grade more old quizzes and print out new ones, but the latter task takes over.  Now that the ancient PC's printer has given up the ghost, the job falls to the laptop and newer laser jet -- but the print cartridges are out again (notably, the color one, which isn't even necessary for the situation).  Somehow, it's all unacceptable: one longs for the reliability of the old printer, with the flexibility of the (relatively) new computer.


So, off to Staples to buy a compatible, reasonably cheap laser printer.  Get one for a deal, am assured that it is easy to set up (will believe that when it happens), and return home to attempt.  Well, am able to load the software in, but the USB connection is very questionable.  Return, and even the Staples guy agrees with me.  The solution turns out to be utilizing the ethernet cable (thought that was only for internet, but guess it can be for other data transmission) -- works like a charm (am cheerfully refunded the other connector).  Back again, and am totally delighted.  Printer bangs out work, just in the manner to which we've been accustomed for many years.  But first time in the five years of Mac that the print-out experience has been wonderful.  Time's up, so off for the evening class, up to Bela Bartok,



looking towards composers born between 1890-1910 for next time.  Back to the homestead as soon as possible thereafter, preparing the last pdf of Ecclesiastes for posting at IMSLP, getting the Camino Real: Block 7 video to 2:15, and bringing San Timoteo Can[yon]tata over via email from desktop to laptop and adjuct storage unit.
