loose some...printerzzzztoo..

Hi Bonnie,


I too am a Windows-98 baby...and, likely, I will elect to
move on to windows-something-newer...

98 I am told has many advantages - it does not take a great
deal of 'room', and is less effected by certain mishaps and
virii, or, the effects are easier to remedy anyway...if a
virus does get in.

But it does seem that more and more potentially desireable
programmes or interfaces are not designed to accomidate
Windows 98...such as Microsoft's new anti-spy-ware stuff...

At least as far as I know...


Anyway, your Printer may need to be re-installed, or the
drivers re-installed...or, Windows98 re-installed...and or
the polarity of the printer's cord's "plug" to have correct
polarity to plug into...it may communicate to a wall socket
whose polarity is not correct...


Printers ( like mine for example) can certainly be an
exhasperation sometimes...or, other things which effect the
poor little thing...can be...
