Hi Jim,

        Thanks for the response.  I need to add a few more details here.  I
have not been over there yet and I apologize for not having first
hand knowledge.  But she did tell me that it didn't seem as if the
printer was even ~trying~ to print; like the cartridge going back
and forth.  It would just spit out a piece of paper.
        Any other bits of info I need to get from her, like printer model #
or something?


Thanks again for your help.
Harold E. Schumacher, Jr.
