Well little update - just back from picking another ink up for the Lexmark and the chap does repairs so was chatting about problems - he said disconnect everything overnight and when you turn on it should work
When I came back home Kris was taking his exquipment out to work a hand held machine but it has a mini printer that reads info up to a mile away and he said when he plugged it in whilst I was away my printer started doing things - so seems it`s picking up info from that

The ink man said that laptops can effect it too - although I have had this set up in the office for months this new hand held printer only was in here yesterday so I hope that`s the answer

And sorry Sheila for my dumb reply saying about the USB cable - I have one and how daft do I sound !!!!
Fingers crossed the resting the printer with remove any information picked up

Thanks for the help - I might be back !!!
