 Real heavy. And I have to use a 230-110v stepdown transformer as 
 well.

 DM> Just have a quick look yourself - make sure all the plugables

 FM> Yeah, I'll certainly do all that stuff first, probably this weekend.
 
 FM> I've done a bit, it's real interesting without a manual! :-) Word for

 Postscript is a fairly generic language, you should be able to 
 pick up a drivers manual in a library, or a good techo/computer 
 bookshop.
 
 FM> Checked the thumbwheel, in fact tried all the positions. I'll include

 Funnily enough, I've had some problems since upgrading to 
 Win4WG, but I "updated" the printer under the Wordperfect Printer 
 Control Menu. Maybe re-installing the windows driver may help as 
 well.
 
 But recalling that the status page shat itself, that may well be 
 a furphy.
 
 If you still have a problem, I could come over and swap your top 
 half around with mine - at least that way we can isolate the 
 problem a little more. Perhaps during the week.
