Also, I have to view online PDFs in IE right now because Firefox
wants a plugin. I DO NOT WANT TO up my version of the Acrobat reader.

May I recommend PDF-Xchange viewer (free) instead.

The advantages over Acrobat a
1. No built in Javascript engine which the virus writers just love.

2. Does not crash randomly like Acrobat reader.
3. Does not hang on exit like Acrobat reader.
4. Does not fail to release allocated memory like Acrobat reader.
5. Somewhat better screen rendering.
6. Options and controls actually work, unlike Acrobat.
7. Built in OCR to convert unsearchable scans.
8. etc...


PDF-Xchange has been my default PDF viewer for several years now, and very
good it is, too.

Going back to the shorted bus lines on the ink cartridge, I 'blew' the short
off with a bit of DC, and when measured again, it had indeed gone. So just
for sport, I hung the cartridge back into the printer.

"The following ink cartridges appear to be missing or damaged" - all six
of 'em again ! Oh well, it was worth a try :-)

I put the replacement back in, and all was well again, at which point, I
lost all interest, and chucked the bad one in the workshop bin. I say I lost
all interest, but it is one with a translucent tank, and you can see that it
is nearly full of magenta ink. And it's a high capacity one as well. And
yes, I know that these Chinese copies only cost me about a quid apiece, but
still, as I see it laying on the top of the pile of workshop detritus in
that bin, I still baulk at all that precious ink going to waste ... :-\
