Suggest me what ichoose to buy , from which company or should iuse the old printers only with some modification? plz. what ever you recomend give the full details of it , the benifits , the draw backs or atleast give me the official site of that? mind it i am daily user of high quality colour printing & printer so if the recomded printer gets damaged or needs a repair i must get the authorised service too?

I had it saved on my computer in color and did some changes, and basically turned it into a B&W. I would like to restore it to its original color. Is it possible, and how?

Anyone technical out there? My printer keeps reporting that it is jammed, even though it actually isn't. I did email Kyocera but they weren't exactly helpful. The printer is clean, as are the trays, and it has a relatively low page count. When I send a document to it, it starts ok but fails to pick up a sheet of paper from the upper tray and then reports a jam.

Please help - it's driving me mad.

I have an HP 4650 that's out of warranty. Whenever I print a black and white page the text fades out the closer that it gets to the right hand side of the page, right up until it vanishes all together. However whenever I print color this does not happen. Even if there is only a little bit of color on the page the print out is perfect.

My toners are all full, my imaging drum is at about 90% but my developer is at about 10%. I have also checked the distribution of ink inside the toner cartridge and they are all OK. The diagnostic prints are all perfect.

What could be wrong? I'm certain that it's a hardware problem but a not certain where it stems from.

Have got HP3100 running fine on my parallel laptop with windows me.
Now the problem is , i have upgraded to Windows XP laptop but with only usb ports.
I have bought a usb to cable which connects to standard cabble of the printer. (the cable has a usb port and a female parallel on the other)

My windows xp do detect the printer and attempts to install it, even i have installed the jetsuite already. during that new hardware installation it ask for the file which are on the c, on providing those files, it continue for some instants and end up saying the "operation has some errors and cannot continue" i also tried to print off by jetsuite, but doesnot help either.
I have tried to change ports one by one and still did not work. I did bought a USB docking for parallel port, which comes to the same point and gives up.
Please suggest, what should i do, to work with my window xp by usb cable.
is there are any usb cable driver available form hp or somewhere which helps to run the printer

I own an ASUS D1 series portable computer. Just recently the LCD screen suddenly turns off and no hard disk activity is present as if my unit freezes. The power is still on though and the processor fan still running. It's not because of the power settings... I already checked that. When I reset the unit everything becomes fine but after certain minutes my unit freezes again, LCD turns blank, and my unit becomes unresponsive. I've tried reseting multiple times but after 3, 4, 6 minutes it happens again. It's also not a virus. Can someone help me with this?

Hey, I am going for a major upgrade. First of all here are my computers specifications:

- Intel Pentium 4, 3.2gHZ
- 250gb IDE Hard drive
- 1.5gb DDR Ram
- 128mb ATI Radion Graphics Card
(Compaq Presario: SR1278AN
Chipset: Intel 915P)

I am getting into video editing and need a more powerful computer. I am going to have to save a bit of $$. I am getting a new 22" lcd monitor for sure.

First of all I need a Core 2 Duo, I know this will help in video editing and the rendering time. But my motherboard doesn't take core 2 duo so i need to get a new one. I want DDR2 RAM too so i will need a cheap but not slow motherboard which takes ddr2 as well. Also can DDR ram go in DDR2 ram slots?

I have an IDE hdd and want to get a SATA 500gb but can i transfer ALL the files from my IDE to my new one including windows xp itself, i ave True Image. My computer can connect the IDE and the SATA hard drives.

I need a better graphics card too, can you please recommend where/what to get? And i live in aus

is there a command that will restore my computer to its state like a week ago? i deleted my sound drivers and codecs accidentally when i did disk clean up, however the computer thinks there still there and since theres a, sound driver in my device manager my comp thinks evrything is all right. and because of that i cant un istall it or reinstall it, when i right click them all it shows is peoperties, scan for updates and update since it is the current version i cant do anything, and i dont think even if they came out with a new driver in windows update it would make a difference without the codecs. so far the only helpfull answer that i would have done was to format my computer, but i think i need the cds for xp which i dont have cuz my computer came with xp, please if there is a command i can do to just put an end to this id greatly appreciate it.
