I've had no problems with my 2500 (which I recently gave away) and it gave me about 6 years of great service. I guess the only thing you can do is do all the necessary checks for the printer (I know these sound like no-brainers, but hey you never know) :
1) make sure it's plugged in properly in the printer port 2) make sure the tape on the ink cartridge is removed 3) make sure the printer's driver is chosen in the Chooser and the proper port is chosen as well "printer port". When you start up your computer does the Stylewriter driver load properly or is it crossed out? BTW turn off the background printing since it takes a damn long time to print anything. 4) open the printer cover and take a look to see if any paper is caught in the rollers 5) now I forgot if the area where you install the ink cartridge has a lever, so make sure if it does, that the lever is in it's proper position 6) there is a lever on the carrier for the ink cartridge that sets your printing to envelopes or regular paper. Make sure it's on the regular paper and not on the envelope if you are printing only on regular paper. I remember that having this set on the wrong thing gave me paper jams sometimes. 7) it could be your ink cartridges are bad. Sometimes the generic ones do give you problems (if it was a generic brand). 8) try a different printer cable Good luck. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
