TRUE, TRUE. I can already see that it is going to bug me too, if I don't get the new pro media's instead. hehe. Actually, I wish I could hear the new ones to see how much of an improvement there is on the midrange. Otherwise, as far as a head phone jack and input, I could live with the CP-1. Anyone know, when they are referring to midrange, are they referring to vocals OR to the bass or punchiness....I guess an example would be a ported box as a opposed to a sealed box. The sealed box has harder hitting higher bass frequencies while a ported box deepens the lows and has a muddier feel to them and higher bass frequencies are not felt as much as a sealed box. Any thoughts? What is the new Pro Media's supposed to do for midrange (or the CP-1 for that matter)? Vocal or punchiness? Thanks. gunrock

Damn, Couldn't help myself and broke down and bought the 2-400's today. I got tired of waiting for the new ones, and these sound pretty good, anyway. heheh gunrock

Hey thanks Windstorm, took the words right out of my mouth... jim WAIT A MINUTE! BEFORE WE REPLACE THAT MOTHERBOARD WE ARE GONNA HAVE TO DO A FULL RESTORE! hehe

Ok, I am assuming you tried reinstalling print drivers and that your cables are ok..Plus i assume you tried hooking up printer minus the scanner too...go back to BIOS and take a look at the settings for your parallel port...they may have been changed it can cause the port not to respond it is the Pararllel mode. I can't remember which one it is so you will have to experiment..Choices should be ECP, EEP, ECP/EEP. Like i said, try each choice under parallel mode..make the selection, then do a print test until you find the one that allows you to print....otherwise get a loopback plug..you may have a bad motherboard too...it's an e-machine so it wouldn't surprise me...If that don't work let me know, I will send you some more commands/actions to try and determine if the port is bad for sure or not.
