I suffered for years before finding out about SLS causing canker sore outbreaks. Switched to an SLS free toothpaste, and haven't had a canker sore in years. Little advice for people still suffering from them though, rinsing your mouth out with peroxide, instantly stops the pain. Also no burning sensation like you get with a fresh cut. It also seems to shorten their duration too. Just be careful not to swallow any.
If anybody has issues with your printers wireless connection constantly dropping. Try setting a static IP address for the printers wifi connection. I've fixed 3 wireless printers by doing this. My wife's work bought her a new wireless laser printer 2 years ago. Thing would lose its ip address every time it went into sleep mode, and it would only reacquire an IP address about half the time. Changed it to a static IP address, and now it always just works.
