- for the past two days i have been having strange printer warning
- notices.
-
- i am running os 3.51m, an epson lq850 printer, and ql510 software
- psoted here s year or so ago.
-
- what happens is, that as soon as the printer is called on to print, i
- get the box around !! and the beep, but the printing proceeds without
- any problems, and completes successfully. if i clear the warning, and
- then turn the printer off, i get a second warning. if i check the
- printer, its status is fine. i can continue to print with the
- it seems to have no relevance to anything which actually happens.
-
- in case there was some contamination of software, i rebooted, and the
- problem remains.
-
- it is more of an annoyance than a problem, but it is puzzling.
-
- any suggestions?
- warning.
