Glad to hear you got it working. Thank you for letting me know my
advice wasn't useless. I just joined the list last week so wasn't
sure if my knowledge was deep enough for most on list. Unplugging
power supply solves lots of problems. It reinitializes things. I used
to be a school tech coordinator and had to do that to the printer a
lot when it started spewing out paper without stop. Don't know why I
didn't think to include that in my message.
