well no
but
1)brought a new (lexmark) printer today that copies, scans, prints, makes phones calls, can be your own personal PA and if coxed will do a caberet,
it wouldn't install
2)upon trying to install said printer it disrubted my BT broadband connection so I have just spend an hour on the phone to a very nice man from BT trying to sort that out

Oh, we have one of those at work... the check printer I have to slap once in a while (with a mallet).
The canon printer is a bit friendlier. The regular lexmarks (just printers) work fine.
Newer printers and scanners don't interface with older versions of windows very well.

Well I have windows XP
so there "should" be no problem
although the bloke in the shop told me windows XP is "always" a problem

There are a few modifications that make xp a bit easier to live with.

Well they told me that if I take the CPU into the shop tomorrow they would install it for me.
But it means I'll have to faff about with the broad band connection again when they've finished
