Sorry to bore you all all but I have just connected the printer - couldn`t wait any longer and YIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
it`s working

So hopefully some of this information might help someone else if they ever have a problem - i`m just fed up the 2nd went wrong at the same time - but I though a paddy and get another basic printer for the cost of the cartridge of 5ml ink needed to make that work so feel better for that

Thanks again
