Unfortunately, Something to do with the printer/driver/whatever conflicts with my PC and crashes the PC every time I try and connct the printer. I spent hours & hours trying to solve the problem and then gave up. If I really want to use my HP 7960 now, I have to connect it to my laptop, and hang the laptop off the network. The printer would often feed too many sheets of (HP) paper through at the same time, which was a pain as I used the printer to print both sides of tri-fold brochures and had to babysit the process. All this prompted me to go for the Epson R1800 instead of hanging on and waiting to see if there was a replacement for the 2200 in the pipeline. Actually, I was all set to spring for the 4000 when a chance visit to Henry's revealed a couple of R1800 newly in stock (it had just appeared in Canada) Note to Graywolf: My colour cartridges for the Epson don't all run out at about the same time. I use more magenta, followed closely by cyan than any of the others. Wendy -- Wendy Beard Ottawa Canada
