Here are the quick links for the printers we use at ” * HP LaserJet 4050 Printer series – Download drivers and software – HP Business Support Center.

Getting the iRiver iFP-799 Working Again
iriver – iFP-700 Series Support. I haven’t use this little guy in a while because I’ve been too lazy to podcast and since this unit doesn’t control volume well, it is useless for that. But it lets me list to WMA protected files, so it will be useful for listening to books on tape and…

iPod stuck at the Apple logo

Etta’s is fine
