No cougar, no football, no service-

So I've just started my fifth week of school at Brigham Young University in Provo, UT (so fun!). When I got out here in mid-August, my super great brother and daddy invested in a state-of-the-art, wireless printer for our dorm. Cool huh!? SUPER! One problem: it won't print anything. For a week Natalie and I tried endlessly to send print jobs and always got the same error- "No Communication With Printer." Around the first week of school my trusty brother was called in on the job and he had it working just fine once the WiFi was set up properly (woops). So the next day I tried to print an assignment and the loathsome message popped up. After countless failures Natalie and I gave up and started trekking to the library to print.

One Saturday, Natalie's dad was in town and he took us to 7 peaks. WHAT A FUN DAY! When we got home we had to race to get ready for the game (my first ever Cougar Football game!!!) Just before it was time to leave we realized we still had to go to the library to print our tickets!!! There was no way we would have time so I figured I would try and send it to the printer just to see if I could get lucky. Lo and behold. There on the printer were two shiny tickets to the game. I was agog, I was aghast! I gave my printer a little pat and said "good job boy :)"

For two weeks after that event our printer rejected any more print jobs. "No Communication with printer." I think that's its way of giving us the silent treatment. Anyway, two days ago was the next football game and this little guy in my mind wondered if the printer would print tickets again. Earlier that day i tried printing out an essay with no luck so odds were slim. But I'm sure you've already guessed what happened :) Good ol' printer must be a die hard Cougar fan!

So in case you didn't hear, Natalie and I have the coolest printer in town. No USB cables, no hassle, just a quality print job... but only if you're printing BYU Cougar Football tickets :)

J reppin' the Cougs!

  1. Hey Rikki. You can just plug the printer into your computer. If you get the same error message you can always try turning it off and on again.
