Suzanne
You are absolutely spot on! I selected another printer
and it works fine. I did put another post out as all the
drop down menus seem to be hanging. But again with
the "new" printer all is well. Having identified the
issue I am not sure what the answer is, but I have also
contacted Canon (I have a Canon MP370). Difficult to know
what to try next!
Thanks again
Gareth
