  5. thats the usual way ,IT chaps using their head i got a 11month old hp 6mp from the skip ,it worked perfectly once the paperclip was removed from the paper path when i was working at the uni the workshop bought a new laser printer (grudgingly) because i kneeded more dots per inch (at least 1250dpi for the work i was doing) instead of consulting the chap that would use it most ME they went ahead and bought one ,all smiles when it was installed but when i told them it was no good grumblings allround ,it needed the postscript plugin to do what i wanted ,cost them another £300 for it instead of £100 if it was bought with it installed ,typical [ 11.

  9. i sounds like you have a seperator page enabled ,look in "printers" right click on your printer and go to properties and have a look around at the features etc look for the paper tray and make sure its auto etc and that the jobs are spooled etc ,if you have default setting use those also make sure that the paper is set at the size your using A4 etc ,had a bit of trouble myself in a text editing suite i set the default to A5 which prompted the printer to use it as default ,as you found it printed everything to the side of A4 (prited A5 on A4 paper) [ 11.

  12. they did have ultimate fighting on sky in the early years plenty of blood and guts ,also a televised set of fights between those shaolinn monks ( ooh glasshlopper) you know the ones that break iron bars on their heads and lean on spears and a load of kick boxers ,the monks went home well and truly beaten i suppose because the boxers didnt have spears or iron bars ,i also remember many many years ago (not on sky)some unusual fights between different methods ,casius clay took on a kick boxer and lost and another boxer took on a wrestler and got the life squeezed from him ,very entertaining (i think clay got fleebightus? in his legs with the pounding [ 10.
