Thanks to Robert, John, & Dave for your replies, I've been messing with it a little further. I found that the printer was also refusing to load paper, which I assumed was related to the communication errors I kept getting. I restarted it, kept messing with it unsuccessfully, and finally shut it down & walked away in disgust. Tonight, I tried printing something for the heck of it & it came out fine. I don't know if the stars lined up right or what, but there you go...now it works. It kind of reminds me of a friend who back in the mid-nineties had an Apple tech tell him to strike the side of the monitor until the picture came through correctly. It worked. Next time maybe I'll try that first ;-) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
