Re: OT - help again with R2400
OK - here's an off-the-wall possible solution - as suggested by my printer repair people. Power from the electric company isn't always a perfect sine wave and sometimes has imperceptible (to us) voltage spikes. Sometimes these are picked up by the e-prom on the printer's motherboard, alters the e-prom's programming and causes the printer to do strange things. In the case of my R2000, it decided to run a head cleaning cycle before printing every print. The repair shop's solution - they had seen this problem before, particularly with HP printers - is this: Unplug the power cord from the wall so there's no power going to the printer - just turning the printer off won't work. Leave it sit for 6-8 hours, then plug it back in and see if the problem is gone. Leaving it sit with no power going to it will allow the spurious voltages to dissipate and return the e-prom to a normal state. I know this sounds goofy, but it worked for me. :-):-) -p On 8/15/2016 8:54 AM, ann sanfedele wrote: Trying to say this simply (difficult for me) I open the file I'm going to print in Elements 10 - hit cntl p or print from the file drop down and the window with the settings comes up..

Re: OT - help again with R2400
Had similar problems after i upgrded Epson 2400 software last time. It for some reason deleted the printer name, i was informed to go into the preferences and give it a name then all was fine.

OT - help again with R2400
Trying to say this simply (difficult for me) I open the file I'm going to print in Elements 10 - hit cntl p or print from the file drop down and the window with the settings comes up.. I set those and then hit print within that window. the printer monitor window comes up showing me the page is printing, but it isn't - instead, it ejects the paper - still shows me it is printing. sometimes it DOES print right away - butmore often than not it just sits there saying it is printing and it isn't. sometimes I've beenable to coax it by stopping the printing, emptying the queue and then starting the process over.

Re: Did the Beatles shoot Pentax Cameras?
I think that in "The hard day's night", in the scene when Ringo runs away and roams the outside world, he is shown shooting with Spotmatic.
