I Need a Google Doctor!!




I was so excited when I read the info about GoogleDocs - WOW - a "place" for everything and everything in its place. That's how I function the best - and now I could have it all!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, but wait - all is not as it seems........



Here's my dilemma: I have a laptop and an older desk top, with one older, but perfectly functioning laser printer. My new laptop does not have the ability to hook-up to my printer. Bummer. They have a cord/usb thing-y that will work, but of course, they don't have any left. That was May 5th, it's now July 12th, and still no cord/usb connection. Why did I just type all of that?? Well, here's where the GoogleDocs seemed revolutionary - I did not need to continue to transfer my data to be printed from my laptop to the older computer (with outdated software) to print - I would have my document on-line and then just pull it up from a website on my older computer to print - NO MORE USB STICK!! No more guessing as to which version I was actually printing!!!!!!!! Yahoooooooooo!!!!!!!!


All giggly this morning to try this out, I bring up my syllabi for Biol 3715 on the laptop - save it to GoogleDocs, then....use my older computer to print!! But it was not to be............The formatting was ALL wrong :( Now - I am sure there is a way I can fix that..........I'll keep looking!!!!

  1. Wish I could help. I am going to explore Google docs next week. Summer is slowing me down ... but that is a good thing :-)

  2. I had similar issues too. Do you still need a cable? I may be able to hook you up. (Pardon the pun.)
