Printer Woes

 I literally have spent all day worrying about getting my kid letters done and out the door. It should not be this hard but it always is. This time I just cannot get the software to work that's supposed to print the the envelopes and I don't even know about the regular documents. It should be simple and straightforward I go into the software open it up fill in the spaces with what I want to have printed submit the blank labels and that should do it but no that doesn't do it. When I finally did get the software to print something it just printed a bunch of junk on the sheet of labels I stuck in the print tray on the printer. I spent about 2 hours trying to figure it out and never got anywhere significant. I'm just hoping to get hope that as staff trickle back into the office after the holiday that the office manager om that is over all the other staff will know about or how to make the software work. I know I've done this before and another point in time things come out have changed that much. I know I filled out the blanks that need to be filled in for the print out. Now I got  Avery labels and I don't know if everything's going to let me use another software to try to print the labels. Yeah I know it must be me but I just can't seem to get it to fill in the label spaces. I'm hoping now against hope that the office manager when she comes in will be able to walk me through how to set up for the print job. If that doesn't work I'm going to see if I can score an old selectric type typewriter. There should be one in the office here somewhere and I can use that to manually type the return address onto the envelopes. I really should have invested in an electric typewriter just for this kind of situation. Not my only hope is to get this done tomorrow on New Year's Eve but I don't really think that's going to happen. I know we're doing a special food box delivery tomorrow. I doubt that I'm going to have much to do with it except for you never know my name is on the file for assistant support for food box delivery. Actually this may be a great idea of asking people there and if any of them have skills and operating a printer. I will get this accomplished one way or the other. I do not know if I will be able to have it done by the end of work tomorrow and if that doesn't work it'll have to be the day after New Years before I can get the kid letters mailed. And actually I could even go until the first week of January. I just like to get the project done. It's not like I'm getting paid.
