What I do know is that I owe you an apology for letting my liking for new technology run away with me and offering suboptimal advice to you (and others). You wanted printing and scanning, but (as far as I can tell) scanning becomes unavailable when ippusbxd is used. It was probably a good job it didn't work . I shudder to think of the mess I could have got you into.
Absolutely NOT necessary ! You gave that in good faith and thus no hard feelings.
Cannot see that it would gave a mess and suppose I got into trouble so what? This whole Forum will help me to get me out of trouble!
