Re: [JAWS-Users] Printer

Actually, whether the Web interface is accessible to screen reader users or not depends on the design of the interface. What the printer provides is indeed just a Web page (or a series of Web pages). There's a small Web server in the printer. If you're a JAWS user who wants to buy a printer with

Re: [JAWS-Users] Printer

Just do some online shopping and make sure the printer you choose has Wi-Fi capability. That's the key ingredient. Other than that, you will have to decide on price and features. Dave Oregonian, woodworker, Engineer, Musician, and Pioneer - Original Message - From: "Holger Fiallo"

As far as I know, no it is not a security risk. You are just giving the OK for your manufacturer to update the apps and icons and maybe drivers for your computer. I have always had my computer update all drivers on both my computers, no issues after many years of doing so. This is a user's,

Just a note on this: Randomly updating device drivers is not a highly recommended practice, especially if they are not from the original device manufacturer. Updating device drivers is only recommended when it adds additional security, or fixes a specific problem. Having said that, they should be

Personally I won't do this only because, for example, what happens if a soundcard driver updates, & it screws up the way the soundcard was working? Well, you're possibly stuck without Jaws , or your screenreader of choice. I'm by no means stating that this will happen, but I can't imagine the
