Fantastic instructions, I have uninstalled the printer, do I need to
reinstall before following your instructions.
Thanks

 

[Tom Ferguson]

No. Reinstall after.

By the way, in the instructions there is one too many instructions about
exiting the command processor. You only have to exit once.

Followed your instruuctions,still get the error message' pc server not
available. I have TUT installed and in services it shows the PCS as running.
in event viewer it shows I have dozens of faults, DCOM event 1005.

I tried the command sequence from "The Old One" but it's being accepted it as
typed - says my syntax is wrong? Should be using caps, is the spacing exactly
the same as in your instructions, etc? I am not used to doing this, obviously!
