That is really interesting, Peter.  How did you pluck up courage to  
try it the first time?!!!

It sounds a bit drastic but one method that works very well (I've  
tried it myself) is to put the keyboard in the dishwasher! You must  
avoid soap, and preferably have nothing else in the dishwasher at  
the time. You must also ensure that the keyboard is completely dry  
before using it (I hung mine on the clothesline for three days). As  
with all things, proceed at your own risk.


I find that with the new aluminium keyboards a simply wipe down with  
a damp cloth is all it takes.

Re: HP laser Jet 5MP

[Ronda Brown]

Hi David,

I was just searching back through the archives for your previous emails re: 
this problem. Found this where you mentioned:
> Can I set up a system whereby I am printing remotely
> via the G3 to the 5MP, set up as the G3's printer? This would entail
> having the G3 switched on and active? 


Have you tried enabling printer sharing in System Preferences on the G3 or G4 
iMac (that is running Leopard)?
You should then be able to print from the 'Snow Leopard Computer' to the HP 5MP 
that is sharing its connection from the Leopard iMac.

As long as the other computer is on and awake, the HP 5MP should show up in the 
printer menu. 
It will show something like HP 5MP @ the computers name. 

Select it like any other and print. It possibly will take a little longer to 
print, but should work.

Another way might be to purchase a 36 pin USB to parallel IEEE1284 Printer 
Adapter Cable connect it to your HP LaserJet 5 MP.

I think I sent the information below to you previously.

Hi David,

If the Printer gives a 'paused' rather than 'ready', that often indicates that 
you're not using a compatible driver (or the driver didn't install properly).
When you click 'Resume' does it go back to 'Paused'?

It sounds a bit drastic but one method that works very well (I've tried it 
myself) is to put the keyboard in the dishwasher! You must avoid soap, and 
preferably have nothing else in the dishwasher at the time. You must also 
ensure that the keyboard is completely dry before using it (I hung mine on the 
clothesline for three days). As with all things, proceed at your own risk.

I find that with the new aluminium keyboards a simply wipe down with a damp 
cloth is all it takes.

Re: epson stylus photo R310 Printer

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Peta,

Just adding to Daniel's expert advice. 
Sometimes when you transfer applications across, especially if you are coming 
from another version of OS X (OS X 10.5 to 10.6), you find you need to either 
re-install some applications or at least have to put in the serial numbers 
again.

I have had two replacement Logic Boards for my 17" MacBook Pro and each time I 
have found I needed to re-install quite a lot of applications. Some just needed 
to be re-activated or Serial Numbers added.
I remember particularly Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 & CS4 required 
re-installing and activating.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: epson stylus photo R310 Printer

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi Peta

Sounds like a few issues going on there.
For the Epson one, it may pay to remove the printer and reset it up then see
how it goes.

For the Adobe software you can deactivate it on the old machine which then
allows you to active it on the new machine.
Other programs can be similar.

Hope that helps.

Kind Regards
Daniel

Re: epson stylus photo R310 Printer

[peta belczowski]

Thank you to all who replied to my Epson printer problem.

Yes, I had discovered "LITE" when following Daniel's instructions.

Also the message "the printer is not registered" once I arrived at this point; 
therefore I apparently cannot take things any further.

Possibly my previous Mac had all the registration details.  When my husband 
bought me my lovely Mac OS X, which of course has Snow Leopard, and I connected 
the external hard drive (which Daniel had installed onto my first Mac), all 
programs etc transferred/copied beautifully to this machine and I was soo 
impressed.

The "ink level status and buttons for “Nozzle Check” and “Head Cleaning”, not 
highlighted, cannot use.

Problems - when we have bought programs for another Mac, I believe the newer 
Mac needs re-registering with new reg. numbers.

For example, with my first earlier Mac I had bought and paid for Adobe.  I was 
too busy learning and re-educating my ways of doing things from a PC and had 
never used the Adobe program.  Now, although it has transferred to my new Mac, 
I cannot use the program.

Too time consuming in today's world - of course I want instant results!

 Hi Peta
 
 You should have "Epson Printer Utility", which almost always gets installed

 You *may* find an alias to it in your Applications folder.

 Inside here should be a Utility called Epson Printer Utility (may have a 1

 clean.
 (If the alias for it isn't in the Application folder, once it's running 
 then
 you can Control click on it's Dock icon and Choose "Keep in Dock", that way
 it's there for whenever you need it next, without having to and relook for
 it)
 
 Once you open it, just follow you nose. It should bring up a window listing
 your model of printer, which you click next arrow, and it will show it's
 connected via USB. Once you click through enough arrows etc it will take 
 you
 to a main "choice" window, where one of the options will be "Head

Hey Daniel,

Not your bad;-) You did give the correct path to the utility.

Sorry to hear you are suffering with cold/flu ... Plenty of liquids  
(not my champagne) ... And Sleep!

Do you remember what SLEEP is??

Get well.

Re: HP laser Jet 5MP

[David Noel]

Hi Mike --

-- Thanks very much for the suggestions. I've followed them through,
but can't get to the working stage.  I can get tthough to "System
Preferences > Print & Fax > (select your printer or add a new one) >
Options & Supplies > Driver" and find the driver 'HP Laserjet 5MP
Foomatic/hpijs' but can't establish the printer.

-- Under 'Print & Fax', clicking the '+' at the bottom of the printer
list brings up 'Add Printer'. I added a printer I called HP 5MP, it
shows 'kind' as 'HP Laserjet 5MP Foomatic/hpijs', but attempting to
print gives 'printer paused', Job Info gives 'Unable to locate printer
' 'Add '!'. Any idea what needs doing here?

Can anyone recommend a method/product for cleaning keyboards of that
