Hi Whosrdaddy, I'd seen that website before but had lost track of it! Thanks very much. From what I've seen so far it's exactly what I need. HP Certified Technician

Thanks for the reply whosrdaddy, but what I need is a procedure to read the event log. I believe the code you posted writes to the event log, but does not read it. HP Certified Technician

Maybe a cleaner way of doing the progress bar as well would be to make the max of the progress bar to be 100 and get the progress like this progressbar1.count := <position in file> / filesize(f) * 100 That would give you the percentage out of 100 of the position in the file that you are at...

Hi All, Does anyone know how to read the NT event log? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Michael HP Certified Technician

Hi All, Not sure if this is the right forum for this question (at least it's half right!). I need to read the NT event log from Delphi, but have found dozens of source snippets that show how to write to it, but none to read from it. Does anyone have some information on how to do this...

Pretty much if the spring is dangling then it's broken (even if it isn't broken, you should really replace it anyway, because I'd nearly guarantee it would break eventually). The new ICL arm is made of metal rather than plastic, so will last quite a bit longer. Michael HP Certified Technician

whereabouts is this stripe you are describing? I had a problem where every so many pages a 8500 would print a multicolored stripe across a page (and also had a little ghosting). Ended up being a broken ICL arm. The replacement of the arm and spring fixed it. Would be an idea if you check...

Yes the G85 has the spiffy blue light to auto-align the cartridges :) I'd guess that one of the new cartridges is not functioning when it does it's alignment procedure. Make sure there is both color and black printouts on the page, otherwise it won't align and keep failing. Michael HP...

Has anyone seen this fault on another 860? The paper stops right behind the front access door and just after it's passed the pre-heater entry sensor. Funny thing is, *some* pages go through (eg. it fails 95% of the time, but for some reason every now and then one or two pages will get through)...

It's a hardcopy. We got it for around $60 from inktechnologies (must've gone up since!). Michael HP Certified Technician

Yeah the ICL Arm (I think that's what it's called) usually breaks and the cleaning roller doesn't clean off any excess toner from the transfer drum I believe. (also can cause a big colorful "smudge" in the middle of pages after a calibration is done, since it doesn't clean off the toner after...

the first line %!PS Sounds like a Postscript file. You may have to install the Laserjet 4200 Postscript driver instead of the PCL version (or in addition to it). The Postscript driver for the 4200 is here...

according to the service manual I have a 21.06 is: Left printhead jetstack thermistor is out of range. Replace the printhead. Sounds like it's a good candidate for the junkheap :) Michael HP Certified Technician

It's been a while since I've worked on deskjets, but I'm pretty sure that if one of the cartridges is faulty, the printer will not communicate with the PC. An easy way to check to see if one (or both) of the cartridges are faulty on the 695C is to open the top cover, wait for the carriage to...

You haven't mentioned what kind of printer you are talking about, but I would assume that you cannot use both the USB and parallel ports at the same time. To get both PC's to print to the printer you would either have to share it over a network (either connected to one PC and shared, or by...
