    My First Car

    My first was a 1939/40 Morris 12/4 which I bought 'as seen' (i.e. no warranty) from a local garage. After a week or so I decided to change the engine oil as it seemed a bit on the thick side. Well it must have been filled with gearbox/back axle oil as after refilling with SAE40 the big ends...

    Had a go at the second one. I'm OK at repairing walls and concrete lintels but not so hot on sign-writing! Not doubt others will be able to further improve.

    Doh!!!! I reinstalled the software as per your link and it still didn't work. After a bit of fiddling around I found that the usb lead was faulty :(. (When I was connecting the scanner to my W7 laptop I was using a different lead). What a muppet!

    Thanks for that info wam. When I first contacted Epson in the early days of W10 they were no longer supporting my model but it looks as though they may have had second thoughts! Will give it a try.

    Has anyone got a 'Mesh' setup? It appears you need a compatible router and a number of Mesh units. Question is how do the units connect to the router and do these systems work OK? Any help or advice would be appreciated

    Computer help

    I have a very good scanner, an Epson Perfection V100 Photo, which has excellent versatile software. Unfortunately it will not run on W10, even in compatibility mode so I have had to use my older laptop running W7.

    Did you sort this out?

    Printer and printing problems

    As it worked OK with the old printer it suggests the problem is in the printer properties or printer preferences. Check both. Or perhaps update the driver.

    Just wondered. In the second pic there's a group of 3 keeping a low profile on the right of the photo! I'm the one on the left of the group.

    Printer and printing problems

    What happens? Are you trying to print addresses from a spreadsheet or similar. I guess the labels on a sheet will all need to be different i.e. for sending out Christmas cards?
