It is indeed very possible that the board has basically just met its fate. Is it possible for you to try the printer at another location? ::: Troth ::: ______________________ ICQ: 1717439 MSN: SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxx Yahoo IM: SirTroth AIM/AOL: SirTrothX ______________________ ::: Original Message ::: Sent Mon, 16 Feb 2004 19:59:33 -0800 by milady | If you are referring to my ongoing impossible problem with HP...the site | says my computer HAS the current drivers installed already and then proceeds | to tell me how to make THAT work..which doesn't..
