Want to get my printer connected - main

26 May 2011


      I'd quite like to get this new printer to do some printing but it says
it doesn't seem to be connected. The following is from the
troubleshooting thing (whatever you call it.) I hope someone can read
this and make a diagnosis. Please. Thanks.
