I tried to look at the manual on the driver disk I have and found I 
couldn't access it either...  :@(

I can't see any lights apart from the two on the top of the machine.

Thank you for trying.  It did give me some ideas even if they didn't 
play out.  I assumed it was something to do with the cartridge and took 
it out. Flashing pattern changed [1/1].  Put it back in and it changed 
again to a different pattern than before [1/5].  Seems the printer can't 
make up its mind what's wrong...

Again, thanks Colin.  You'd think with the obscene profits they make 
from ink, they could afford to put a simple text screen on the damn thing!
