Terry, I don't have a cable, but others in this forum are trying to find one. Can you make the disk available in the expectation that someone will come up with a cable? -Bill

Not knowing what you're feeding the script it's hard to tell what's wrong. What is it (not) doing?

The leading uniq part of the filename is created here: my $uniq=time().'-'.$$; which is the current time in seconds since Jan 1 1970, followed by a '-', followed by the current process id (the $$). To keep the filename the same, just pick a name and assign it to the $filename variable and...

There may be more efficient ways of doing it, but one way is: my (@list, $sum, $count, $avg); while (<>) { @list = split /::-::/; $count = scalar @list; $sum = 0; foreach (@list) { $sum += $_; } print &quot;$count entries, average = &quot;, $sum / $count, &quot;\n&quot;; }...

According to the service manual your error is: 13,004.43 (0x6c04): TCH_JS_LEFT_ SLOW The left jetstack heater is not heating at all, or is not heating as quickly as it should. Replace the printhead. As with other problems, you can always try disassembling the major component (e.g., printhead in...

This error is listed as: 15,004.45 (0x7c04): TCD_ THERMISTOR_ SLOW The drum heater is not heating at all, or is not heating as quickly as it should. Check for open connection or open thermistor in power supply. This happened to me recently. In my case, it was an open thermal fuse in the drum...

I'm not sure exactly what's wrong with your script, but the approach seems overly complicated to me. Try this version. It appears to work on the simple tests I ran. -Bill #!/usr/bin/perl open FH1, &quot;<le_spoiler_en.txt&quot; || die &quot;can't open card file&quot;; my $prevfield; my...

I'm replying to my own query for the archives. Thanks to everyone for suggestions, especially TMart. The actual cause of the error message turned out to be an open thermal fuse in the drum heater assembly. I removed the drum heater, took it apart and replaced the thermal fuse for $1.99 +...
