> John in Wales > PS Jeremey I enjoyed - " somewhere, something has gone horribly wrong" ! > Thanks. It was a caption on a cartoon Darren Branagh once sent me, which featured human evolution, from a very stooped primitive ape (or was it one of our local teenagers?) on the left to an upright homo sapiens in the centre, then to a human stooped again in front of a PC - "Something, somewhere, went horribly wrong". I haven't got the original cartoon, but it's a bit similar to the one in Per Witte's History page on his new website, if you can't visualise what I mean.
And in terms of "enjoyed": > I think you have got that wrong - AOL is 100% spam free - they tells us. > What you are getting is "commercial services". > > Tony Tebby :-) Much like Windows has "features" I suppose (i.e. you stalled your car, kindly dismantle the engine, and reinstall it) Oh, back to the intended email subject... Speaking of Windows "features", anybody got any ideas why my Epson Stylus 880 is not recognised over USB after the latest reinstall of Windoze 98SE? The Epson software prompts you to switch on the printer and it detects (in theory) the printer whether it's on parallel port or USB. Except it says it can't find the printer then goes ahead and installs a parallel port driver which you can't change despite the fact there's nothing at all connected to the parallel port. The printer's the only USB peripheral I have, so I can't verify whether the port is working or not, but (a) it used to and (b) it's probably no coincidence this happens after a complete reinstall I'll bet! USB cable tests OK with a meter, but of course no real way to verify it without something to plug into the USB port. Control Panel/System indicates an USB software presence somewhere in the computer, so it seesm to realise there is USB and it's enabled in the BIOS. Strangely enough, for the time being I'm printing via sernet to another computer from QPC2 on this computer, all very educational I'm sure :-( Wasn't life easy when I just had a QL and Gold Card! Aaaarghh! Anyone got any ideas on this one? -- Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List
