Other Uses for My HP PSC 2175 All-In-One Printer

October 13, 2005 in Technology with 10 Comments

As an update to the post regarding my junkie HP printer, the replacement that was supposed to have arrived yesterday morning through an overnight delivery still hasn’t shown up. The good news, though, is that my family has helped me find some new uses for the all-in-one printer. Because of a hardware failure that can’t be repaired, the machine can no longer print, copy or scan. That’s no problem, though, because the kids figured out a few new ways we can continue to use the Hewlett Packard PSC 2175. For example…

Abby started using the HP printer as a step stool to help in the kitchen.

Kayla found that she could use the HP printer as a side table on which she could set her beverage.

Elisabeth Shue…I mean my wife, Emily…figured out that the HP printer was just the right height for a changing table for Brooke.

Jacob had the most fun with the HP Printer. He took it outside and began using it as a bike ramp.

And, then as the evening concluded, we all enjoyed a candlelit dinner with the HP Printer as our centerpiece on the dining room table.

There are probably many more uses for an HP PSC 2175. In fact, maybe you’ve used your junkie HP technology for similar uses in the past. If so, don’t hesitate to send me your pictures. At this rate, I’m not expecting to receive my replacement printer any time soon, so we have plenty of time to continue to mock the junkie customer service response from Hewlett Packard.

Oh, one more thing, have a "Fun Friday!"

    I bet Jacob was able to get some sweet air off that ramp.

    I think you should go “Office Space” on it. Post video. Sound would be really funny. You could even use it in a promo for anger management classes….

    Big Chris beat me to it. I’d love to have you ship it down to me so I can use it for some “anger management”.

    Actually, even better, you could take it into your office and just outside the cube or office of the IT guys you could start smashing it to pieces and enjoy the look on their face.

    Elizabeth Shue’s husband is pretty jealous right now!

    A few changes to the inside & it might be just the right height for a training potty for Brooke when she’s ready…

    hahaha, you so crazy.

    Holy crap, your wife DOES look like Elizabeth Shue! She was fantastic in Adventures In Babysitting.
