I can log into a computer and manually run the script, so I know it isn't an error in the script. Can anyone help me with what I am missing?

I have also tried it with a copier named CopierC... in case it had something to do with the hyphens or the long name.

I have used different variations of the script, but this is the current one:

Purchased and took delivery of a brand new Xerox ColourQube 8570 (solid ink)... Hi all

I will try to keep this post simple and to the point...

Purchased and took delivery of a brand new Xerox ColourQube 8570 (solid ink) printer on 2nd February

Installed & Configured for network printing (Admin use) on 3rd February

Purchased additional set of genuine Xerox consumables from regular supplier at £90 each on 6th February

Decided to top up the printer yesterday and found that the additional ink sticks don't fit... printer displays "remove incorrect ink in slot..." error.

Contacted supplier of consumables thinking they had sent incorrect stock but no, those are the correct items.
Checked Xerox UK website and found this to be true. The stock which was supplied with the printer has a different part number...

Contacted printer supplier who at first, was unwilling to help but after referring them to Sales of Goods Act have now arranged for Xerox engineer to call.

Contacted Xerox myself where I was informed there are two types of this machine, one is for leasing use only and the other for standard sale.

At this time, we are speculating the printer we have purchased is from a batch intended for lease BUT if this is true, the printer should have PPC in the serial number and also firmware installed for the purposes of leasing...

I understand that occasionally, things go wrong and I don't need to tell you about the inconvenience or time spent trying to sort it out because you have all had to sort out something like this but what I am most annoyed about is the sudden show of defences and unwillingness to help from the printer supplier. I was told repeatedly that I must be fitting the ink sticks incorrectly and eventually had to take photographs to prove my case.

So, watch this space for updates next week after Xerox engineer has been out.

Oh, and the printer was purchased for a very senior member of staff, need I say more? ]]> Hardware Great_Scott http://www.edugeek.net/forums/hardware/90250-xerox-colourqube-8570-solid-ink-issue.html Clickview 24/7 Video http://www.edugeek.net/forums/av-multimedia-related/90249-clickview-24-7-video.html Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:09:39 GMT Hi Guys, Due to a power cut which corrupted my 24/7 recording I’ve not been able to get a video I need, would anyone be so kind to add *Super...

Woods turns to Wonder and says, "How's the singing career going?" Wonder says, "Not so bad. How's the golf?"

Woods replies, "Not too bad. I've had some problems with my swing but I think I've got that going right now."

Stevie says, "I always find that when my swing goes wrong I need to stop playing for a while and not think about it. Then the next time I play it seems to be alright." Tiger says, "You play golf?"

Stevie says, "Yes. I've been playing for years." Tiger says, "But you're blind. How can you play golf if you can't see?"

Stevie says, "I get my caddie to stand in the middle of the fairway and call to me. I listen for the sound of his voice and play the ball towards him. Then, when I get to where the ball lands, the caddie moves to the green or further down the fairway and again I play the ball towards his voice."

"But how do you putt?" asks Tiger.

"Well, I get my caddie to lean down in front of the hole and call to me with his head on the ground, and I just play the ball towards his voice", says Stevie.

Tiger asks, "What is your handicap?" Stevie says, "I'm a scratch golfer."

Tiger, incredulous, says to Stevie, "We've got to play a round sometime." Stevie says, "Well, people don't take me seriously, so I only play for money, and never play for less than $10,000 a hole."

Tiger thinks about it and says, "OK, I'm game for that. When would you like to play?"

And Stevie says, "Pick a night." ]]> Jokes/Interweb Things laserblazer http://www.edugeek.net/forums/jokes-interweb-things/90246-golf-game.html
