No, it's not on a label on the printer (as one help page suggested). It works! So, the printer is OK, not that it showed any signs of not being fine. I downloaded the latest printer software and treid loading that.

I just know they can be a b*tch sometimes (usually). These comms protocols and stuff don't mean much to me. I trawled the internet for advice, most of which referred to the printer's IP address being needed. Now I get the message NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED, whatever that means. I tried a cold boot of the MacBook Pro and printer. I link my MacBook Pro to the server using the BT broadband router. My printer (Epson AL C1100) is connected via a USB cable to an old (Windows)laptop I use as a server. I changed nothing, not printer settings, comms links, nothing. I tried to print some more pages after lunch and it failed with the error message: Interface Type error = -1. In the morning, I printed several pages as usual. It suddenly lost the link to the printer. Yesterday, I had my first serious failure with my Mac.

Today's irritation: When you switch View from "design" to "source", the source view opens at the bottom of the file, not where the cursor is in the Design view. Select advanced properties and use the dialog box which then appears. What I learned today: If you want to change a tag, select the tag and then right click on the tag on the status bar at the bottom of the screen. You can see the first page I've coded in Kompozer here: After advice from Greg, I'm using HTML 4.01. OK, there are some things I've discovered. It's run by Greg Chapman and it's been a great help to me. I tested it briefly once before but I didn't quite get it. It's fine but it's slow to hand code everything. Now I'm updating my website at and I'm trying to get away from hand coding everything. I've been away a while but that's basically because my MacBook Pro works well. Now, how do you change the DTD line at the top of the page? I have to use Taco to do this as I haven't discovered how to do it in KompoZer. I also found a useful way of adding a row at the bottom of the table - just hit the tab key, just like in Word. When asked in the dialog box, leave the "other" tag blank. Then I discovered that you can convert text into a table just as you can in Word. I started by inserting a 2-row, 2-column table at the top of the list of files. I want to put each file name in 1 column and the date in another. So that I could include the date of the update. It happened like this: I decided to alter my Updates file On the other hand I found KompoZer great for setting up tables. I have to do some coding to correct errors and standardise formatting.

I could do it in KompoZer but it's more difficult all in one colour. Taco allows easy HTML source coding because of its use of colour for different elements. I find myself using a combination of Taco and KompoZer to update my website.
