From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Greg Keogh Sent: Monday, April 11, 2011 8:35 PM To: 'ozDotNet' Subject: RE: [OT] Windows 7 and Parallel port card Chaps, two of you have already found that my friend's EPSON doesn't have drivers and is even on the not supported lists. So that solves that. I rang my friend and gave him the bad news. As Corneliu says, and as I said to my friend ... new well featured colour printers are really cheap these days. The thing to beware of is the cost of consumables. He spent $600 on the box, $90 on a USB drive, $8 on a new mouse, $12 on the parallel card that doesn't work, so now he spends a bit more on a new printer! Your wallet has a slow leak. We've got another stupid problem now. I copied his complete My Documents (and music and pictures) over to the new box and we installed the latest iTunes. When it starts it comes up with a complete list of music from the old machine and every file is "broken" because the physical locations don't match. So now I've got to find a way of clearing iTunes of all music and refreshing it from disk. There is no obvious way to do this and the Apple style menus are foreign and ambiguous (Delete, Clear?). I suppose there is a "database" behind iTunes that I can delete and cause a rescan?! Sheesh! How do normal suburban carbon blobs migrate to a new machine. I've spent about 6 man-hours with my friend. I'm helping him get his email migrated from Outlook Express to Outlook (it hit size limits), his cable modem wasn't recognised (you have you power it off and on), his printer is outdated (my fault for not checking on this), Kodak EasyShare photo links are all broken like iTunes, and so on...
