Hi Thanks for your reply Liisa.

However I think there may be something different from before which is stopping it from connecting ok. > Uninstall printer, then install printer again.

Green light comes on, printer makes noises to get ready for work and red light comes on too. Both stay on. But then when I click to print (Epson 1290 USB 1 port) the printer makes no noise or effort to print at all, though it looks on screen like everything should be about to happen. The printer dialogue box says the file is printing. But in practice the msgs aren't getting through to the printer. > > Do other things work? Are your ports healthy (sorry, > dont know the techy > word for sick usb ports!) Yep, I've got the printer and my scanner connected to my computer by a USB adaptor. And I'm scanning without problem. > > Sometimes just pulling the plug out of the back of > the printer and shutting > the computer down for 15mins has helped with faulty > prints. Could work. I'll try anything! Thanks again... any further direction? Christina ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
