My hope is that if you have access to Usenet groups like this, that you
also have some access to the web. Many of your questions are best
answered by doing some searching on a search engine like Google, as
there are already many websites and articles on line which can tell you
about computers and printers, and some of the basics about the types and
how they work. If you continue to read on this newsgroup, over time you
will learn more about printers, but it may be quicker to seek out the
information using a search engine and the web to find specific answers
to your questions.
If you need some help in using a search engine, or in phrasing
questions, I can help to get you started. You can email me at the
address below, and I will try to help you.
