   The Gospel According to Rodney the Wise. I like! (I'm doing a little   
   research on Gildas Sapiens, Gildas the Wise, so this idea drew a chuckle.)   
      
   Compared to that, anything from me is gnostic at best. But when I install a   
   printer in XP, it asks me, "Will you use this printer with DOS?" or some   
   such. So maybe its just a matter of uninstalling and reinstalling the   
   printer, and checking this box.   
      
   I like to suggest simple stuff, like plugging it in and throwing the "On"   
   switch. Occasionally, it solves the problem.
