I will have a look at these thanks. Totally ridiculous though when all you have to do in every other version of Windows is right click on the image.

Latest problem now is though computer and printer are connected to the same wireless network they won't communicate. Guess these things are sent to try us.

Funny you should say that as I have now added the app to print from my iPhone which did find the printer wirelessly
