VPN, Any ideas??

[da SLUG man]

my woreless printer has stopped working... it keeps saying -

"the print spooler was unable to coinnect to your printer. This can be caused by your printer being turned off, the cable being unplugged, or being connected to a VPN, which will block access to your local network"

it's turned on, plugged in, and works for everythinmg except printing!!...

what's a VPN and how do i remove it??

VPN = Virtual Private Network

it will be a twain driver errer windows xp in not very good at telling you whats wrong
dont know how well you know windows?
but to read a path the / means folder
so go to start
/my compurter/local disk c:/windows/system32/doctor wattson
doctor wattson is a hidden file in windows that tells you what wrong with your commy
follow that path to the folder called system 32
doctor wattson looks like a pail blue doctor in uniform double click him let it run
then see what he has to say (let me now the code if any)
then i will tell you whats best to do (may be uninstall you printer and reinstall it) but it may be fixable yet so let me know

[gwh200]

do you haveyour printer installed as your default printer?

have been known to "switch" itself to another printer or fax,when you go to print

[da SLUG man]

yeah, tried all that... i reckon it's something to do with BT... they sent a load of software with home hub and it's never been the same since.

[gwh200]

ahhhh i know the problem,its easy to fix

get all the bt gumph,put it in a large metal container and soak with petrol.apply a source of ignition.whilst this useless pile of shoite is burning get another isp and voila!!!

everything works

[BUSHWHACKER]

What????? we've just changed to BT option one!!!!

[shaggy]

is it an epson?
if so go here http://www.ssclg.com/epsone.shtml
and run the program
it resets epsons to their new status
hopes this helps
