Hello Deidra, You are absolutely correct. Even though, as blind and low vision people, we have come a long way in terms of technology independence, when it comes to certain tech, such as inexpensive laser-printer setup, having sighted assistance, even if only once, can really make a difference.

Setting up on the computer was not a big deal. You have to download some software which only takes a few minutes. The set up is uncomplicated and quick. If you follow the instructions step-by-step you will get where you want to go. No doubt it went quickly because I had sided help.
