286196 2004-10-30 04:30:00 Ah, but do many, if any, Chinese computer shops sell/repair/promote Apple PCs?

Methinks Word may have been on the brain therefore the fingers typed Word 98 unbidden instead of the Windows 98 that was probably intended. ;-)

You are quite right. I have just finished writing 4000 Words for a Varsity essay and had "word" on my mind. And also agreed, once I enter the magic kingdom of BIOS (through one of my 98 Windows) whither?

286198 2004-10-30 21:20:00 It now being Sunday and attempting to think logically I have sent a query to Epson's New Zealand technical support although the machine is not named in their tick list. If I get something that works I'll post it back, meantime back in BIOSland.......?????

sorry to distube your ventures into the BIOS but could you check the spooler for me
go to start -> settings-> printers double click on your printer goto File (top left of the spooler window) check that the print spooler is not paused, if there is a tick beside pause menu option click on this option once.
another question while you ar in there
Is the printer icon greyed out ie is the printer icon lighter in colour than normal (the same effect as if an option was greyed out or unavailble)

286200 2004-10-31 01:52:00 The BIOS setup will have a top page which will give either a menu or a row of tabs at the top which gets you into other pages . Look for things like "Advanced", "Peripherals", "Ports" . . .

You can't do any damage as long as you remember "ESC gets you out", and note that exiting will prompt you to save any changes . If you're not sure, don't save changes . :D
