got to love the wife she screwed up my printer or daughter did.
anyway its screwed up kind of. its a epson all in one cx8400 printer.
today wife saids the unit wont read her CF card. iI go and check it out and when you insert the card in the reader it turns off the printer. im like WTF so i pull the card and hit the power switch and it turns on, so i go and insert my SD card and no problem unit stays powered up and all fine .
how in the hell did she or the daughter screw up the port . and like always they have no idea how it happen. sure glad i dont use the CF normally.

Shorted CF card?

ya it is a shorted CF card slot in the printer ! the card is working fine in the usb card reader i have hooked up to the computer.
sure glad to that saved me from buying another printer.
even do a new printer with a built in print server sure be nice.
but then what would i do with all the extra ink cartages i have in my cabinet as we all know 9 out of 10 even buying the same brand printer again it use a different set of cartages !
