Printing Ink problem

I recently ran across a puzzling printer

problem, and a few days later chanced to

find the fix in a MacFixIt column by Ted

Landau.

The symptoms were an error message

that the ink tank was empty, when in fact it

was full. The actual problem turned out to

be dirty contacts on a (commercially) refilled

ink cartridge. The problem is the misleading

error message, leading myself (and several

other Mac techs, including Ted Landau) to

look for software problems such as corrupted

printing preferences or drivers, when in fact

the printer was simply failing to make proper

electrical contact with the cartridge/

printhead. Ted Landau was dealing with a

Lexmark printer, while I was

troubleshooting a Hewlett Packard. Both

have the printhead built into the cartridge.

At any rate, if your printer insists it is out

of ink when the cartridge is actually full, or

just fails to respond with and error message

about a misaligned printhead, try cleaning

the contacts on the cartridge and carriage

with a slightly moist cloth. Dry them

immediately after wiping them with the

moist cloth. Also, if the printhead is built

into the cartridge, as on the Lexmark and

HP printers, check the actual jets on the

bottom of the cartridge to make sure they

are clean.

Printer setup.

Question: The printer symbol on the dock

has disappeared, so consequently the Epson

printer will not print and I am unable to find

where the printer has disappeared to. I do

notice the the former Lexmark that I had,

seems to be still programmed into the

system, as sometimes something pops up

with the name. Do you think the computer

is getting the wrong message? I have never

had such continuous problems before. It is

terribly frustrating when I want to get

something done. Any ideas?

Answer: Probably the printer icon was

inadvertently dragged off the dock and went

poof! You don't need the printer icon on the

dock to print, only to select a printer, add or

delete a printer, or stop or start jobs. To

restore it, open the Hard Drive, then the

Applications folder, then the Utilities folder,

drag the Printer Setup Utility icon onto the

dock, and release it to create a new dock

icon.

Open the Printer setup utility. If your

printer is not listed, click on the Add button

to locate it. Select Epson USB from the

options, and providing your printer is turned

on and connected to the computer, it should

show up in the list. Click on it to select it,

and press the Add button.

Your printer should now appear in the

Printer Setup Utility window. Click on it to

select it, and then click on Make Default. If

the old Lexmark is still listed, click on it to

select it, and click on Delete to remove it.

You should now be ready to print.

Placing a desktop photo.

Just a quick question for you. A friend

sent a picture to me via e-mail as an

attachment. I'd like to take that picture and

put it on my screen as a picture. Is this

possible? If it is, how do I proceed? I.m

using OS 10.3 8 (Panther).

Answer: Copy or drag the picture icon

into the iPhoto window, click on it to select

it in the iPhoto thumbnails, and click on the

Desktop icon at the bottom of the iPhoto

window to set it on the desktop.

Alternatively, place it in the Pictures

folder in your user folder, and then from the

Desktop system preference, select Pictures

as your source of desktop backgrounds.

Click on the desired photo to set it on the

desktop.

Creating email Groups.

Question: Is there a way of having

separate groups that are not listed in all.

Would I have to set up another file to hold

all the addresses that need no special group

thus having everyone in group files but

keeping the all file.?

Answer: In the Entourage or Outlook

Express email program, the addresses should

all be listed in the general address list.

Groups are essentially subsets within the

general address book. When you create a

Group, it is added to the general address

list. I start all my group names with an

asterisk (*). This moves them to the top of

the list, and I can bring up all my groups in
