Hi, Thanks Tim! So far all screens ok - Ink and head is OK!! (Jipiee! So far!) (Using the orginal colour carts and ordinary letter size copy paper.) *But* the front feeder don't take the paper. I'm just now using the buttons on the printer for "test prints". (LF + ON)! The front rubber-puller seems to be ok - cleaned them with alcohol. So there must be other rubber puller inside?? Two questions (Windows XP): 1/Is it ok to use the single sheet backfeeder (I'll anyway do single prints) EEM (EAM that is?) 17"x24" 2/ What driver for Win XP (NT driver or Win2000)??? This might be a lucky day?? Regards Fiat Lux!
