Actually I followed up my email above with an "explanation", though I do not understand it at all. My printer would not print anymore at the time I write the above, under Windows it would print in black only at the highest resolution. I ran the cartrdige cleaning utility a few times, but made no difference. So on a hunch I replaced both cartridges (they were not empty by any means)_ and lo and behold it started working perfectly under FreeBSD and Windows. Now it is probable the colour cartridge was blocked beyond cleaning. But it is still a mystery to me why it would not even try to print until the cartridges were changed .... I thought the patch had been committed to stable already ? I rebuilt everything yesterday and my printer is working a treat :) -- Regards Cliff Sarginson The Netherlands [ This mail has been checked as virus-free ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
