Hi HevnLgh,
Of course it worked - and perfectly! The funny thing is that when I first installed my Officejet 8600 I did exactly the same thing as you advised, it was what I knew and had done successfully on my previous printer. But it didn't work. So I thought there was something different about the 8600. Obviously I must have done something wrong when I tried to change the preferences; perhaps forgot to save them or some such silly thing when I exited. Anyway, mission now accomplished and many thanks to you.
