I am starting to do silk screen printing and I need a decent printer to print the Art work. I am mostly going to be printing in Black and White, but will occasionally need to print basic color photos as well. I know I can spend about $150.00 or so. I would like an all-in-one (fax not needed) with the separate color/black ink tanks. I have seen a lot to chose from but don't know what is better. Any suggestions would help, but personal experience is better. Thanks

I want to buy an all in one printer, the ones with the fax, scanner, and printer together. I only have one land line phone line and I want to make use of the fax machine only occasionally, not even everyday. Do I need a separate fax line for this anyway? What if I were only to send faxes, and not receive them at all, would I still need one.

Also, if you have a recommendation on one, let me know.

My speaker model is Edifier. Its output is USB cable. It can be use until recently I bought a new stereo headset with microphone using USB output too. I can use both until my computer cannot detect any speaker. When I see through the Sounds and Audio Devices settings, it says no audio device. It shows Modem #0 line playback as my default speaker and microphone output. But when I open windows media player to play some song, I can hear it through my Edifier speaker. When I play movies in youtube, I can't hear any sound. There's no speaker icon on my taskbar. Please tell me what's wrong with my computer.

I have a Dell Dimension 2400 (shut up) and I need some memory. Right now I am looking at "SUPER TALENT 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Desktop Memory." Will that work? The whole DDR SDRAM thing confuses me. I know I need DDR, but I thought SDRAM was different? Aaaaaaaaah! Thanks!

Also... is around $70 a good price for this?

I figured maybe it's because of the size, but they make external hard drives that can fit in your palm. It really baffles me that a 2 gig flash drives cost $70 when you could buy a 60 gigabyte external hardrive for the same price or less.

My 18 month old Dell Dimension 3000 runs perfectly in every way, but a couple weeks ago the fan started running extremely loud (at all times). The case is not in the least bit warm to the touch so I guess it is some kind of internal issue. Has anyone ever dealt with this same problem (with such a fairly "new" computer)? Please share whatever knowledge you have and try to help me! Thanks a million!

I have a Sony VAIO and for the past three days, I have to click on 'start' then 'turn off computer' *twice* before it actually shuts down. The first time I do it there is a bit of noise from inside it, but nothing happens on screen. Why is this?

What Are some common problems with the power supply, I bought a new Video Card and I hooked it up to my computer but now my computer wont start up I have installed Video Cards numerous times and I have never had any problems before. It starts but normally on my computer the power light goes from orange to green, it just stays orange and you can hear a fan goin but that is all that it does. I believe that my computer does not have enough power but I am not sure I have a Dell Dimension E310. Does any one now how much power that has originally? Please help.

It works perfectly fine when I use it in Safe Mode [/with Networking] but when I shut down the computer or restart it after it being in Safe Mode Windows won't boot up. It will go through the normal startup and then right before it gets to the screen where it chimes and my cursor appears, it stops and the screen goes blank. Could it be just the monitor I need to replace or does anyone think it's the computer?.. Sometimes Windows does boot normally but for the past couple of days it hasn't.
