So it's slapped btm and off to bed with no tea for both of us, Keef.
Seriously, there's really no need to get aggressive about this, itwasme. What I was doing, for the sake of the community on this board, was reporting back to the community my experience with the beestie: it could be that others had not realised the implication of your initial post.
On a wider, maybe philosophical, point, I don't know enough about data handling to really argue this, but... surely it should not be impossible to make this process seamless without switching on another process and switching it off when you have done with it? Asking six or seven times a night 'Can I print something now, dear?' would be tedious in the extreme - and IMHO should be unnecessary. I spent my engineering life designing control equipment in a number of fields (though not digital) and the brief I gave myself was: 'switch it on, and it will work with the minimum of fuss' without the user knowing or caring how many steps there were implied in the act of switching the kit on.
I enjoy playing with 'toys' as much as the next geek, but not when I'm on a deadline: the computer is then a sophisticated tool for presenting the product - even if it's only hundreds of words.
That's the reason for my disappointment with this piece of kit, which (nearly) does what it says on the box.
