Random thoughts...

It appears that my HP Envy 5055 printer is sadly dead. It turns on (Has power) and just will not print. I had previously dowloaded the HP Scan and Print Doctor. I apparently got lucky being able to scan something once after downloading the Scan and Print Doctor. Since that one time, it hasn't helped me out. I'm wondering if the printer is offline again. I had that issue a while back and than my printer worked again. After wasting my time this afternoon I'm contemplating buying a new printer. I'm not sure what do with this HP lemon. Does anyone have helpful advice to make my Envy 5055 print again? Or what I should do with it?

Cap (Grrr)

Like podcasts? Like books? Like podcasts about books, publishing, collecting limited and first editions, bookstore operations, etc.? This was a real treat for me this morning...a half-hour interview with David Headley, co-owner of Goldsboro Books in London (and book collector and literary agent):

Oh I see how it is... lol Dan's not here... lol. Joking aside book output the last 2 years has been very slow largely due to covid and now how difficult it's become to manufacture books right now. The last 2 years have been really tough for our productivity. Gwendy's Final Task for instance has been at the printer close to 3 times longer than a book usually takes once it's been sent to the printer. They've had to change gears and order different paper for the book 4 or 5 times at this point. The last time the paper mill they were getting the paper from just up and closed it's doors out of no where and canceled all it's outstanding orders. Apparently right now all the paper money is in cardboard. It's been a nightmare.

I thought that as well. Over the years, I have made the assumption, that Brian was integral in helping sort out a number of well known issues.

Richard has said as much in interviews, that — to paraphrase — his company’s success has been due to hiring quality people and letting them do the heavy lifting. Even his kind note today congratulating Brian admits he’s “never been much of a businessman.” So when someone so apparently key to the operation leaves and book output has already been concerningly slow for some time, it’s worrisome. But with Brian sticking around part-time, perhaps those heightened concerns are unfounded. I certainly wish both Brian and Rich/CD much success moving forward.
