Q. Any recommendations for new basic budget A4 printer?* The once state-of-the-art A3 Epson Stylus 1290S we talked about here did die some months later. But I was very pleased with the advice here that gave it a life extension. I inherited a Canon PIXMA MP610 printer in excellent condition...

The Canadian website 500px for storage, display, and discussion of photography has been around for years. Well, I discovered the hard way that my external domain (paid subscription) no longer points to my so-called 'Awesome' 500px account (yep, paid subscription), and it previously did just...

HOLY Sheet! That button hack actually worked on my Epson Stylus 1290S Tony! 🖨️:love: ...it is printing again! Does this reset the cleaning pad count to zero permanently (or something) OR I am going to find out that I have to do this button hack every time I turn it on?

Worried that this is one 'those' questions...where everyone says 'buy a new printer' but I thought I'd ask... Q1. Is it really possible to fix Epson Stylus 1290s? Problem: Both green light (power button) and red light (ink button) are flashing alternately for the very first time. Will not...

Gosh, I started a debate by accident there. Still concerned that the phone didn't actually warn me it was going out of date (like Microsoft did repeatedly for my Windows PC until it forced an update to version10). Perhaps even advertise/suggest a new phone on startup?,...instead of displaying...

Ah. Thanks for letting me know Huawei. Thanks Huawei for preserving the limited resources of our planet.🌍

I liked your link. A shame it doesn't cover older models but it was still useful. Right so, now I have a better idea of where to look, my phone says it has the latest Android 6 already and is set to update automatically. So kinda back to square one. But,... I haven't yet tried downloading...

I suspect you are right. :) How would I find this out? Why doesn't either the 'Smart' phone or my PC say what version I have and suggest which version I need to install? I thought my phone updated everything automatically whether I wanted it or not.👾

Erm, no I didn't know that. But I kinda want the Huawei management system I bought to just work. Tested today and it still doesn't work. Now each time I do connect the phone to my PC, Microsoft tries to take over (and fails too). :rolleyes:

Thank you. Often a reply can be reassuring even if the fix is not available yet. :) I waited a couple of days to see if Huawei would find and fix the problem automatically but no. I just tried their online chat (this avoids giving them everything to my inside leg measurments and just the serial...

Setup: Huawei Y6 2017 phone + USB cable + HiSuite software on Windows 10 pc and Android phone. Aim: downloading photos to pc from phone and general management. Ok for past couple of years. Problem: plugged in phone to pc as usual, pc asked for a software update. Okay. Then I realised the...

FYI: Keep an eye out for this issue. :unsure: Using Windows10, up-to-date Word + Epson Sylus Photo1290. Facts: 1. All my other docs print fine. This one doc started repeating this strange behaviour a few weeks ago (I thought it was a temp glitch of an auto update). 2. Printer seems to be set...

Microphone too quiet for recipient? They can't quite hear you? 🤐 Possible fix... Windows10(not Skype) > Settings > Devices > Sound settings (hotlink top right) > Sound Control Panel (above Microphone privacy settings) > Sound pop-up, Recording tab > your microphone should be in the list to...

FYI... Your test call on Skype says it's working yeah? You can hear yourself but your caller thinks you are on mute? CHECK / FIX: Windows10(not Skype) > Settings > Devices > Sound settings (hotlink top right) > Microphone privacy settings > Allow apps to access your microphone (turn on) >...

Successful. Borrowed two webcams. :cool: FYI to others. Black screen in Skype?? YOU MAY NEED TO RESTART SKYPE AND/OR YOUR PC for the camera to be recognised!
