Having had several expensive phone calls (they use an 0891 number and have many morons to man the customer service desk) I finally managed to speak to a helpful Dutch person who sent me some upgrades of the software. I have been sent several software updates since, without asking for them, and my printing problems have gone away. So I suggest that you get the 0891 number and give them a ring because this may be a software bug in the drivers. I hope that you sort the problems. -- David Lindsay Lindsay Research Fax:+44(0)1734 402500 Market Research & Consultancy davlinds@mktres.demon.co.uk Reading, Berks; UK
