Don't know about that but know what you mean about the tips. I was losing the will to live reading a lot of the inane and well worn comments and tips. I was somewhat guilty of that myself at the start in what I realised was the greedy rush for vouchers but then thought better of it and decided I would post a few funny(hopefully) tips. I think a few got a mention on here as I made no secret of who I was on FB.

Sadly some do not see the funny side and off the wall (but clean) humour seems to get lo wasnt in the mad frenzy for a few quid:(

However I have to hold my hand up and say that I am sometimes guilty of getting caught up in things that really aren't going to change my life one iota:rotfl::rotfl:

Mmmm ... I've just gone to my SSM page and I have a warning ...

Warning: One or more of your posts has been reported by another user.

Thing is ... although I wasn't taking this too seriously I was posting (what I thought to be) half decent tips/questions. Does this mean I'm blocked and can't print off vouchers?

I am also trying to open a new hotmail addy and keep getting username taken :mad: so not having much luck this affy.
Going to go for a shower then try my luck again.

Need a bit more info before I could help.

Is there a specific error message?
Are you sure the printer is set as your default printer?

My initial thought is an IP address issue. Take a look here:

https://h20563.www2.hp.com/p/_wireless/faq.html

Under the first section, wireless connection issues, try the first one (static IP).

Hi Caz, thanks for that.
I have had a quick look at that web link, but most of it is like reading in a foreign language to me
I have managed to find my printers IP address and entered this into the address bar as instructed, but all I get is various web searches, not the page I am supposed to get, per their instructions
Yes, definately set as the default printer.
The error message, is just a white question mark in a red bubble and in the printer is shows as 'error-printing'
I have also had a virtual memory low bubble pop up, but I don't know whether this is related?

I did have a problem on sat, with the printer printing my vouchers in wingding like code, but once I replaced the low ink cartridges with new ones (genuine HP) it seemed to work fine.

If it helps at all, it is a HP Photosmart B109 all-in-one wireless printer.

I'm bored of waiting for my JTD voucher!

Of to do something productive.

Just back from tesco and boots and sat here admiring my little pile of toothpaste and fairy liquid for pennies! I love it when theres a manufacturer offer AND a voucher on the same product!:)

Also got the 98p nice and easy conditioner for 0p! thought Sa was going to trout me, but after scrutinising the vocher she just scanned it (phew!)

Thanks to the OPs who mentioned SSM, and the cheapest things to buy:money:

I also have a £1 vicks voucher, but even those smelly nose things that look like a plastic tampax are just under £3:( cant see a cheaper vicks item. Not even another customer looking at ehm, or I would have happily passed it on.

Disaster shopping trip and no bargains for me
Weirdest guy in the tesco car park handing out menus for a new indian opening near us, he asked if I wanted a menu and I said no thanks we dont usually get take away, and he proceeded to shove the thing in my face as I was trying to get DS out of his car seat and I again told him I wasnt interested.. I was going to put ds in the buggy to do a 'proper' shop (where you dont end up carrying them round the whole of tesco) but this guy was just really suspicous so I thought prob best to get away asap lol..
Anyway he just stood by my car staring at me and was like have a menu anyway maybe you will want take away basically throwing it in my car, I was like ok thanks bye.. and then he just carried on standing there completley invading my personal space stood in my parking bay just staring at me, I just gave him the weirdest look and was like "you really neeed to learn about peoples personal space" and walked off. what a werido!!!
Anyway nothing to report in my local t's. Could hardly look round as ended up carrying ds as well as a basket. Saw they have re put up the price scanner machine...still broken..:mad: tescos and logic are 2 words that dont seem to go in the same sentence...
Saw there was lots of pantene in the discounted section, went to go scan it before realised the machine was broke and in the end just gave up........think I am going to go back without toddler in tow...also had some of the 1p kids cutlery(pink) in the baby and toddler aisle (someone mentioned it in the other 1p thread on grabbit)

I'd have complained to Tesco that he was harrassing you and they would have kicked him out of the carpark. If he's promoting a food business he's doing them out of business as well

have yout connected the printer to the computer the wireless I mean??

I had this problem last week when the electricity went off for the day, the router re-set itself... I had to re connect the wireless printer to the computer and all was well..

If you input the disk again and download it again... HTH xx

Thanks West, do you mean uninstall the printer and re-install?

I had to re-set my router on Sunday, so sounds similar to the problem you had :cool:
