A bright day here chez Casa Reynard, albeit a bit of a chilly one with that brisk north-westerly breeze.
Did not sleep particularly well, as my mind just wouldn't switch off. Anyways, I went to bed late last night, but with a set up and fully working printer. Got it working with my ancient Sony Vaio with its Vista OS - one of the reasons I plumped for the Epson over some of the other options. Definitely NOT plug-and-play like my previous printer though. Most of the negative reviews for this particular model are from those people who struggled to set it up or not read the specs / manual. Admittedly it is quite faffy and time consuming, though if you follow the instructions, it IS reasonably straightforward. Had to have a go at some of the steps several times as there's a knack to pressing the various buttons in various orders. And the drivers do take a fair while to install and the wi-fi to sort, but yeah. I shall have to go through the same rigmarole with this laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad), but that's for another time.
Print quality looks pretty good, certainly on par or slightly better than what I got from the old one. Yet to test the scanner, but I shall have a go at that this evening.
Litter tray update - the furry invaders have had a good old scratch about in there overnight again, but they've not eaten the sawdust. So I shall top it up again with more sawdust and keep doing so until the little sh*ts get the message. I will use the corn-based litter in the tray upstairs, but when that runs out (sod's law I just bought a fresh sack!), I will switch to a wood-based litter. In the mean time, I'm generating enough sawdust cutting up firewood that I can use that as a stop-gap.
Anyways, it is time for luncheon and I has a hungry.
