Still, just for the record, when instructions say "DO NOT PLUG ANYTHING IN UNTIL THIS STEP", it tends to be you can plug it in: it'd be some crap hardware if it was going to explode if you only plugged it in at a certain step (let's face it, a lot of people would never see the warning) and everything you do is ultimately reversible.

yeah, i see that now Kaniaz.
And thanks for the tip, i'll bear that one in mind in future...
I guess i was kinda scared of having a 'half installed' printer on my computer, and that making things go screwy on me...

But god, if i'd realised it was that easy to fix, i'd have had a printer six months ago!
Duh!
