Hi Bob, No, it was not "only" the computer and printer that went out. They just happened to be on when the power in the house went out. The "only" thing that isn't working now is my printer. This is the second printer I've had this happen to. The power in the house went out while I was using the printer. When the power in the house came back on, the printer did not. I was wondering if there is something in the printer that can be replaced to fix the problem. If the printer has a fuse, this might be the problem. I hope it will be that simple to fix.
