I've only just joined so if this has been asked before sorry.

To put you in the picture, I'm no geek when it comes to computers but I am keen to learn and I use Ubuntu 6.06LTS.�

1)The Epson printer, as I say, won't print. Not even a test page. Ubuntu recognises it, it knows what the print job is etc but absolutely nothing happens when I ask it to print. No noises, no nothing. What can I do?�

2) New optical mouse. It was fine for a short while (a day) then it it stopped responding. It's a USB mouse with a PS/2 adaptor. Tried another adaptor because the connection seemed a bit wobbly but this didn't help either.
