But as mentioned above when I start printing these ants come out indicating that they have nothing to do with the rubber button.They may well be attracted to the cartridge ,but for this we need to be well versed with the ink composition. Also it's high time for ants to collect food which they would use it for the entire winter,so there is nothing wrong for them to eat what they want! hehe, they might eat anything that's left free. It would be better if we talk to the printer officials regarding this and get this thing to task. Hi,

Does that mean I get to "get rid" of me?! LOL! LOL! As it is just Susie-Q and me in the office, and I like Susie-Q quite a bit and we get along REALLY well....I guess I need to take responsibility for my crumbs! LOL! LOL!

Sometimes people just don't clean up after themselves when they've eaten, and that's like open season for ants. OTOH, if there's someone in the office whom you really can't stand, and there's no other way to get rid of her, you could always print out an office memorandum, in Full Living Color, and send it to her all full of ants. Not the most paschal idea I've ever had, but it beats screaming at her to Get Lost! My first thought was also that your office might have a food problem.

How long had the blue cartridge been in the machine, do you know ? Maybe whoever put it in there had just eaten and the food smell got on the cartridge........ That is utterly bizarre !

Your last sentence really put me over the edge as I closed my eyes and gave it all a visual. Too Funny, yet sad as ants are really hard to get rid of. The only thing that worked for me was dehydrated garlic , minced kind. You know, the kind you buy in the food store. I'm sure any brand will work. Just put the opened bottle near where they appear most and see what happens. Let me know how fast it works for you. I think it was a couple of days for me. You probably could sprinkle it all over the desk and around the printer. Good luck! Sorry Dears, But I got the biggest and best laugh I have had all day.
