i bought a canon 3 in one ( printer scanner copier) PIXMA MP150 two weeks ago. then when i came home the scanner just wont work even though all the drivers were installed. the printer and the copier work fine. but not the scanner. it keeps giving me this error message "code 155,0,0" anytime i try to scan anything...."Cant Exteblish connection with scanner. it's either switch off or the cable is removed"
i followed all the instructions in the users guide that came with it. so i dont know what else can be wrong. help please.

Has anyone else bought a dell dj ditty mp3 player and found it to be not worth the money at all? I purchased one for my son and have had to have it replaced under the warrenty that I paid extra for about 3 or 4 times now and a year isnt even up since I purchased it. The sad thing is I paid extra for the warrenty and they replace it with a refurbished unit everytime. What good is paying extra for a warrenty when you dont even get a new unit to replace it??? Am I the only one who feels that is unfair?

I have a LaserJet 4100N, once the page is printed can either come out on top of the printer or out the back. I always have it come out the top but it started coming out the back yesterday. I don't know how to change it back. It is a problem because the back of the printer is against the wall and the papers keep falling behind the table and I can not reach them. Please Help!!!!!!

It has a Celeron prpcessor. It still works but is very slow, and I have to use Win98 on it, and there are some programs that no longer support this OS.

I have been on the apple site and all they talk about is reconfiguring the library on your old PC before you can transfer to the new PC. This doesn't help me as the old PC has vanished and hardly any of my Music was bought from iTunes.

And are you confident that you have it set up correctly?
Do you install your Antivirus software?
Do you get all the windows updates?
Do you defrag the hard disc.
Are you just glad it works even though you fumble through the set up process?
Are you struggling with any of the above questions?

How much would you pay someone to setup your new computer. A) hourly rate B) fixed charge

I was trying to install a new hard drive. I turned it on and smelled burning wire. I shut it off. I checked the whole board to see if any chips burnt out because I have a little experience. Nothing was burnt. I'm thinking either power supply or bios battery? I turn the computer on and nothing comes up on the monitor and I hear this particular series of beeps. 1 beep (pause) 3 beeps (pause) 3 beeps (pause) 1 beep. I thought it was the memory chips too but I checked those out already. It wasn't them. Is there a way to test the power supply? What do you think could be the problem? Your help is appeciated to the fullest! Thank you.

I guess what I'm asking is, how is this better / worse than a regular pc? the case looks to be about the same size as any other desktop computer so I'm a little confused with the "micro" also.

Our old Epson Stylus 62 has died and I want to know if we should go a for colour laser instead of a new inkjet?

We only used the inkjet infrequently and it was always clogging up.
The quality as a result was pretty awful and of course replacement carts are V expensive.

Do more modern inkjets have the same problem ?
Would a laser have a similar problem?

We dont print photos. Only text and simple graphics.

If a laser looks like the winner - any recommendations?
