Bought a cool portable printer but whata WASTE of packaging!
I've been on the road for nearly a month and of course there is always something I forget to bring. Too many withdrawals from the memory banks and... well, you know.
When I travel for work I usually bring one of my collection of printers for printing documents and junk I need.
Well, I forgot. I need to print a building permit app and send it in.....
So I go to the local place and buy a nifty little portable printer to carry in the truck and RV.
A Canon iP100. This thing is small, nice and compact, and it is also battery powered if needed. Cool! I have wanted one for a long time.
Really a nice little unit. Google it and have a look. Perfect for the RV, and also battery powered for boondocking.
I get back to the TT and start unpackaging this thing.
Good friggin grief man!! I cannot believe the absolute total waste of packaging materials. It is ridiculous! All this custom formed cardboard to hold the thing in the oversized box. The plastic bags that everything was wrapped in, the plastic stuff all over the unit to protect it, and then the documentation. All I can say is wow! Just wow! There was more paper than I could imagine possible. And all written in who knows how many languages. There was paper after paper after paper about all this crud that nobody gives a hoot about. Piles of it! And advertising junk to buy more stuff.
Well after peeling this thing out from all the wrapping and setting it up, I threw every single last piece of paper and documentation it came with into the big oversize box and tossed it in the trash pile.
I don't need any of it. Not one piece! User manual? If I can't figure out how to print something I should sell my computer!
I kept the driver CD, thats it.
Wow! What a waste.
OK! rant over! :B:B
