RE: [BlindTech] Recommendations For A Printer for routine printing

Thank you very much, Richard. I am in Canada and in Amazon here I could not find the model number that you have mentioned, what I have found here is: Brother HL-L2320D Monochrome Laser Printer with Duplex Printing Should I assume that this might be the same printer with a different model number

Re: [BlindTech] Recommendations For A Printer for routine printing

I do not know if they have different model numbers in different countries, but I know their models change from time to time; more often than I would have thought. I'll have my sighted wife take a look and see if she thinks it is the same basic printer or at least very similar. I really like

Re: [BlindTech] Recommendations For A Printer for routine printing

I personally find if I do not plan to ever print in color, a black and white printer is much less expensive in the long run because the toner is less expensive. The Brother may be able to be set up by a blind person, I just didn't try it since my wife is the one who uses the printer the most.

Re: [BlindTech] Recommendations For A Printer for routine printing

It does not look like that is a wireless printer. Look for DW in the model. The HLL2350DW says it is compact, but has the 250 sheet paper tray. It is showing the price in Canada as $165.44. They recommend buying a toner cartridge at the same time as the one that comes with it has not a lot of

RE: [BlindTech] Recommendations For A Printer for routine printing

If it is a laser jet and it doesn’t say color, it is black and white or “monochrome.” If you want the option for double sided printing and wireless, make sure DW is part of the model name, at least with Brother brand. Other brands may have a different way of designating both duplex or double

Hi Carol, The easiest thing is to ask Siri to start the kind of workout you want. However, with Watch OS 5, the watch will usually detect when you've started a workout if you forget to tell it ahead of time. It will make a guess as to the kind of workout you are doing, and you can accept that

Hi, Yes, TextEdit is on all Macs. It can open and create Word documents, text, and RTF. Since spell checking is available everywhere on the Mac, it's available in TextEdit, making that program more functional than WordPad. Best, Anna > On Nov 10, 2018, at 11:25 AM, Richard Turner >
