A number of years ago I got tired of the bother and expense of changing color cartridges. Most of my printing is B&W documents. As for color photos, I pick what I want and put them on a thumb drive and take them to the local drugstore, where prints are so cheap now. I bought an HP LaserJet 1012 printer. It works very well. A toner cartridge runs me about $80 and usually lasts me more than a year. That is a lot less than what I was spending on those printer cartridges. Highly recommend it. You might look around and see if you can pick up a used/reconditioned LaserJet. Bob On 5/22/2017 3:32 PM, Carol Anne wrote: > I need a new printer (all-in-one).

Carol Ann - I have an HP Envy 5530 printer/scanner and say enough good things about it. The ink is in small things easily held in one hand. They can be temperamental at times I admit. You lift off a small cap, insert the ink, tap down the cap. I think it would work well for you.

The HP cartridges don;t have break-off tabs, but they usually come with a clip that close around the cartridge to ensure that it does not leak. The cartridge snaps into the clip and must be pressed of much like a bottle cap. It would not be easy to remove the clip using one hand though it could be done if some kind of steadying force could be applied. I would think it would be similar in difficulty to the break-off tab though the clip might be somewhat easier. Lee

I can't speak for "all-in-one" units -- my preference has always been for dedicated units: flatbed scanner, utility printer (tend to be HP inkjets with automatic duplexing [double sided] printing), photo printer (tend to be Epson with 6+ ink cartridges, and designed for 13x18 pages). I do so few faxes that I'm willing to pay at Staples for a few pages -- otherwise it would be scan and connect the USB-Modem to send. However... I've never had break-off plastic "lever" tabs. The Epson (ESP R2000) cartridges have a rip-off strip a bit stiffer than the plastic wrap sealing some food jars (I suppose I could use my teeth to grip it if I had to use one hand). The current HP (OfficeJet Pro 8100) don't have any tear off items -- just push on the old cartridge so it pops out, then push the new one into the slot. -- bieber.genealogy@earthlink.net Dennis Lee Bieber HTTP://home.earthlink.net/~bieber.genealogy/

Good morning. I have a situation that I have not had to deal with before and I need some guidance. I will soon have a new person to be added to my genealogy data. I have a couple, let's call them male A and female A, and female A has just become pregnant using a donated egg from female B and fertilized by male A via IVF (invitro fertizlation). This is all consentual and legalized between the parties involved. My question is as follows: 1. How do I record the birth of the new child and who would I show as the biological mother female A or female B. I thought of showing male A and female A as the biologicl parents and then record the actual biological mother, female B, in the memo section of the birth records. Would it then be best to use exclsion makers, sensitivity brackets or both around the narrative in the memo field? Are there any other ways of recording this situation that I'm not aware of?

I need a new printer (all-in-one). The one I have now is a Canon that is many years old, and it has been a good printer, except for one thing - I'm disabled. I have little use of my left hand and I cannot hold the ink tank and break off the plastic lever-like piece you have to break off and neither can my 90-year-old mother who lives with me.

I agree with Roger. It is now important to consider how future generations will use DNA analysis. How would you record a family Female B and Male A who had a child. Later Female B dies and male A remarries female A (lets assume female A adopts the child)? Is this genealogically any different than the IVF situation? I do like Lee's suggestion to create a custom relationship tag which would better explain what really happened. This situation would also apply to same-sex partners that have a child with a surrogate or donor parent., This also could be confused by any laws applicable in the state where the child was born.

This part is up to you, and depends on what information you and the parents want to share.

I am kind of surprised this has not come up before considering that there have been quite a few IVF births. Basically the situation is really not greatly different than an adoption. What you suggest (male A & female A as biological parents) initially sounds good to me since female A carries the child through pregnancy. But the big question is how to treat female B and that might be affect how female A is recorded. Since female B is the actual mother from whom the egg is taken, she might be recorded as the biological mother and female B as the "other" (think 'adoptive') mother. These terms really don't explain the situation at all. If the situation were to occur more often in your project, it might be worth considering a Custom Relationship Tag (e.g., Mother-IVF for female A?). Then Mother-Bio would be assigned (non-Primary) to female B. But, as it is likely a one-off situation, that may be overkill. You might consider using the Mother-Oth Relationship Tag and record text explaining the situation in the Memo field which would not print anywhere. If you ever want the circumstances printed, you might consider an Anecdote Tag or a Note Tag. Using Exclusion Marks for the Tag/Witness Sentences, you could then control when it would print. For what its worth - Lee

There have been various reports over the years of the Focus Person being switched when changing Views. In almost all cases, this is actually user-caused due to inadvertent clicking of the mouse somewhere on the screen and thus changing the Focus person without realizing it. Some users have reported being very careful not to change Focus Persons and this still happens, but this only occurred a few times and nothing has been found as to why leaving the question as to whether TMG was at fault or the user -- again without realizing it. To be certain that the Focus Person stays the same, single-click on that person's name before switching Views. In other words, clicking on any name causes the Focus Person to be changed if different or stay the same as currently viewed. Lee

Walter, I cannot seem to find my notes on this, but I recall discussions about this quite some time ago. I believe the key to switching views is to notice what person or what tag is selected/highlighted when the switch is made. I am not where I can test it at this time, but believe that makes a difference. Michael
