Sorry I haven't got back about the printer before now, but I am having problems with a bug that originates with our local cable company and Norton doesn't recognize it!
I have printed some cards and they don't look too bad, I have also bought another colour cartridge, the other one was a refill, that may have been the problem, I will see as soon as I print a couple more cards and let you know.
'Someone' :D may get away with not buying me a new printer for Christmas! It is a very good suggestion though.
