So, basically I just bought the printer, I printed the test pages and scanned the obligatory test page as well, also printed about 4 pages I chose myself after and then today I was going to print some picture outlines for the kids, it let me print one, then refused to print the other. 

 

It says it's printing, but it's not. Nothing happens. Tried to restart, cancel (and removing from list) and retry, change picture and things like that. There's paper in it, there's ink, colour and black, left. It's connected through wifi, because that's what I've got and that won't change (and shouldn't have to connect it any other way). I have a good connection in general so shouldn't be a problem.

 

I mean, it's not even a week old, I'm already partly regretting it. Sure it's cheap but if it's this crappy it shouldn't be allowed to be sold.
