| 95672 | 2002-11-06 19:28:00 | Sorry Eric, and thanks for the kind offer, but I think I've got that manual (the download that Merlin directed me to). Yes it does seem to be a good printer (if a little basic and noisy!) and it's turning out to be a good second fiddle to my newer HP. Since I have it, I thought that I may as well use all the ink up before chucking it out!! I've got an old Star NX1000 too, so I'll be making use of that after. I does seem to be a bit of a manual operation printer though, I'll just have to put up with winding it forward to rip off, then winding it back to the begining of the page. To stop printing mid way through it seems I have to turn the power off!! well it beats writing it all down I guess catch ya... where are you going that computers don't live? |
