Hi !. I still use the basic QL [+ things like Super Gold Card &c. ] but not Q40/Q60/ Aurora &c. I do have a degree of sophistication eg PC keyboard and case etc. but I also use complete original QLs and am much inclined to the QL philosophy any body out there think the same - nice to t

Broadly, this is what I have done. Signing up online from another computer or phone line (a) alters your computer's settings or (b) ends up with you only able to dial up from the phone number you signed up from. As it's being done from here for someone else, I'm knackered all ways. In the end I'

Hi all, a client of mine is trying to make a screen dump with a DeskJet 520. Has anyone ever attempted and succeeded to do so? Is there any software that works with that printer (he can print from XChange and Text87 btw) and can do screen dumps? I have never used a DeskJet with a QL so I have no
