It is easy to forget about your printer as you go about your computing needs. It sits there on your right hand side and springs to life when needed. Or at least it is supposed to. If you do not take a minute or two, a couple of time per week, you may find some interesting words coming out of your mouth when streaks or paper jams occur.
Keep it clean
This is easily said and done. The printer heads are the biggie in this area. Printer heads are definitely prone to clogging. If they are not used on a regular basis, or if they are used at a quick clip, they will clog. Every now and again take out the printer cartridges and give a quick clean with a non-linting cloth or moistened Q-tip. If you do use your printer quite a bit think about all those pieces of paper rolling through the printer. It is unlikely that each and every piece of paper will roll through without a shard or tear coming off the paper. These shards will attach themselves to the rollers or other inconvenient printer elements. It is wise to open up the printer every now and again and give it a quick wipe down with a moistened Q-tip.
Turn off and cover
It may seem like many of these tips involve the printer heads, and they do. The printer heads are the area where most preventable maintenance issues occur. Most people, me included, are prone to turning off the computer but not the printer. This leaves the printer heads exposed to the air and possibly drying out. At the ends of the day turn off the printer at the printer. Not from the power cord but at the printer. This will cover the printer heads. Particularly if you are in a dusty region, or if you have a pet, cover you printer. Dust and hair are killers for a printer.
Use the printer
One of the biggest ways to take care of your printer is to use it. Many people really do not use the printer all that much, myself included. This is a digital age and everything tends to stay on the computer. At least twice a week print something that will use all the printers workings. A colorful website will do but give it a bit of a workout and most of the other maintenance issues will never arise.

However, actually, the cube initially was not known as "Rubik's Cube", it was called the Magic cube. Actually, the idea of such puzzle was initiated by a man called Harry D. Nicolas in 1970.
The Erno Rubik which was well known for the invention of this Rubik's cube invented a refined version of the puzzle in 1972. After so many years, many of us are still playing around with the cube. Of course, after so many years, many of us are still unable to solve it. Here, I would like to share some easy solutions. I hope that everyone will be able to solve the puzzle in the future.
First of all, the easiest way to solve the cube is to cheat. Yes, CHEAT. There are many cheating ways circulating around since the cube became so popular. Now, you can easily find external stickers for Rubik's cube. So, you will be able to stick those stickers on the cube to restore the initial appearance. This is consider one of the easiest way to cheat.
Another way to cheat is to break the puzzle apart. You can do this by turning the top layer of the cube by 45 degrees, and the use a screw driver or your finger to pull the middle piece of the top layer out. Then, you will be able to take out every single piece of the cube. Of course, this solution will damage your Rubik easily.
Cheating, is not my way because I do not get any satisfaction from cheating. However, I do enjoy using one of the ultimate cheat, which is using an auto cube solver. You can easily find this in the internet. What you need to do is to use the auto cube solver is first click the current appearance of your cube, and click solve.
Automatically, the web page will generate a series of solution for your Rubik's cube. This is considered cheating, but at least I will get some satisfaction by twisting and turning the cube. Don't you think this is the easiest cube solutions?
