I spent at least six hours trying to get my new all-in-one printer to recognize the FIOS wireless router.

If you have this problem I can save you 5 and one half hours: Reset your Router which will disable mac (Media Access Control) filtering.
I bought the printer on a whim when I saw an on-line ad from Staples. I bought it because my wife complained that our old deskjet printer took too long and besides she needed to fax stuff.
She uses a laptop which connects to the wireless router which comes with FIOS. But, when she wanted to print something, she was always kicking me off MY desktop PC which was connected to the old 640C printer.
It cost about $275 including free shipping. "All-in-one" seems a bit of a misnomer. It does not have a coffee maker or popcorn popper. It says it will scan, copy, fax, and oh yeah, print.
As soon as I got the new printer working, my wife said,"Good. Now put it in the basement. It's too big to have up here."
If this was Facebook or Twitter I might post: Holy Crap I have a scanner!
Anyway, I thought I would test the scanning feature of the new printer:
I found this photo taken "a few" years ago, back in the pre-digital world of 35mm. This is my favorite original oil painting, done by my formerly bohemian artist sister, Chris (which she asked me to destroy after she found Jesus. The devil in me could not comply. So I keep it hidden in my basement "office.")

Holy Crap -- you're younger!!
Yeah, but I still have that shirt. And check out the "Vuarnet" cap. I couldn't afford the sunglasses so I just bought the hat.
You said: "If this was Facebook or Twitter". I say rather "How about 'About Facebook' or 'Titter'?"
too bad you are not still on facebook.. this would have been an even better profile pic than Capt Dennis on his boat.
