Is there some reason that 3 iterations of my portable Canon inkJet printer appear here?
Only 1 seems to be present in LIBRARY––>PRINTERS––>CANON.
NOT a major issue, but I am curious.
How would you think I might be able to clean these up?

Had the same basic results after installing stuff for a new/refurbished Epson printer yesterday. The Printer Utility also shows "(2)" in the name of the printer in its list.
Perhaps using a 'cache cleaning' utility will erase the multiple entries? Otherwise, get a real cannon and...

If that serves no benefit, then I dunno.
As to how they got there, best guess: ABD did it!

You're right on both counts:
- ABD did it!
- Printer Set-up Utility displayed and then deleted the "excess inventory"
PS: one leetle glitch – PSU is, of course, not in my System Prefs, but in Util in the Syst Folder. Of course, since you're on the other side of not only the Continental Divide, but also the Potomac River, your mileage could vary. Probably does.
PS Nr2: And yes, for you sharp-eyed readers, I wanted to print out some advice from a Purdue Horticulturalist on Christmas Cactus. Ours is starting to bloom and it hasn't even had its "beauty sleep" which ought to be starting about . . . NOW!
Anybody out there have an "independent" Christmas Cactus?

But you probably knew that.

The easiest way to tell the early bloomers from the later is to look at the lobes on the green segments. The sharper the points the earlier it blooms. Christmas ones have scalloped lobes and the Easter ones have only mild bumps.

Ours, sharply seen.
Thank you.

I've got six Thanksgiving/Christmas/Easter cacti that bloom 2-3 times each between early November and late March. In fact, I started noticing buds last week.
I wish I could get them synched so they'd all bloom at once. It'd be beautiful!

Are they also different colors? We're looking at "peach" at the moment.

I've got white, cream, red, magenta (2), and beige. All very beautiful. One winter (January), a squirrel tried to scratch through my window to get at them.

Does every "holiday's" variety of cactus require 6-8 weeks in the dark for maximum flowering, as does the Christmas "version"?

One more question to assuage my astonishment.

My plants don't get moved to a special, extra-dark room. They bud on their own -- I think from the coolness and shortened daylight that comes with autum.
I will say one thing different this year compared to others is that they're still sprouting new leaves. It seems very late to me.
