I have a MP830 and when I try to scan in a doc. to my mac, it takes forever. I get this message "Processing calibration data from a scanner. Do not open the document cover."

The greater the detail setting the scanner is set to scan at, the greater will be the time taken to complete the scan process.

Lowering the detail settings may reduce the time taken to scan a document.
These settings may be found in the software that came with your printer.

Thumbs
Thanking you

C4480 won't print documents that my daughter downloaded for MicrosoftWord10 (our docs is 03), does that make a difference. Have deleted and re-installed, but still doesn't print the doc.

If the document appears on your computer screen you should be able to print it. If your Word 2003 cannot read the document there is an upgrade to allow it to access later version documents. Open office word processor accepts later Microsoft Word documents.

What is the main function of microsoft word?

The most basic function of MS Word is to create a document/file. Once a document has been created, the user may enter data - for example by typing some text. At any point after the document has been created, the user is allowed to save the contents. The document can then be accessed at a later time and modified as necessary. Documents can be printed out at any stage in this process.

My printer(hp laser jet 1320) dosen't print correctly in more then 30 pages.

sounds like a memory issues or a windows swap file problem. when printing large docs u need to have some free memory in the computer. Also some printers 2 day used windows memory to print so if your pc only has small amount of free memory it can effect printing out large docs. also with a laptop it shares it memory with the video GPU. so you may need to upgrade your memory in your laptop .
