Morning All, Not sure if this will solve issue, but I have noticed some strange behaviour with print queues recently. This happens when a job for some unknown reason does not print or sits in Que. Waiting, why??? (printer off, connection not available, out of ink/toner??) First point of call

Hey Rob, thanks for that tip. Our Epson 510 was out of yellow ink and we knew others were running low but the ink status monitor showed as being disabled. I switched the printer off, unplugged the usb, switched it on and replugged the cable, and voila ink levels show again. Hmm, well now

Have you tried simply turning the printer off, unplug the USB cable, turn the printer back on and plug the cable back in? Then start the print queue. On 14/07/2010, at 10:47 AM, William Crabb wrote: Hi All, Just wondering if anyone can help me. I have sent jobs to the printer as

Delete the jobs that are already in the Queue. Unplug the USB cable and then plug it back in. Check that the paper size of your document is set correctly to whatever your printer is capable of printing. Try again. Quoting William Crabb williamcr...@ozemail.com.au: Thanx Ronni, Rob and
