Q: I am using Outlook 2016 for calendar and email on an HP laptop. My printer is an HP 6830 Office Jet. Last week, when I printed out my calendar, it printed in black and white, not color. I’ve run diagnostics from Microsoft and Hewlett Packard with no luck. This evening I printed next week’s […]

Q: I have 3 desktops and 2 laptops. I do a lot of newsletters and journals for several organizations I support and have used Microsoft Word for years.

Midland, Texas A: Well now, Jeri, you’re trying to get this unpaid, freelance columnist/Geek to endorse a product, but that’s something that I’ve said since the very first edition of It’s Geek To Me published in July of 2007 that I would […]

Q: I’m a Mac-aholic (iPhone, iPad, iMac), so I read your column to keep up on news in the tech world, but most of your questions have to do with PC, vice Apple. My question today, though, is platform irrelevant (I think). I have a wireless printer, which works perfectly. I can sit in my […]

Q: For the past 8 or 10 days, I’ve been getting a popup in the lower right of the screen which tells me there is a Windows update and I should click on either “restart now,” or “remind me tomorrow.” I first clicked on “restart now”. I later received another popup that said the system […]

Q: After scanning a document in pdf, the product will not save in the designated file – the error message (no number) is “unable to write to file.” It will write to a file in an external hard drive, so I save it there, copy it, and paste in the desired computer hard drive file […]

Q: I currently use Kaspersky for my Anti-Virus and Internet security program. I know that this is a Russian owned company and, given all the real fears about Russian hacking, I’m a little concerned about continuing its use on my personal computer.
