Re: "select switch not on"

["Dominic Wu" <dwu@swales.com>]

Select switch is sometimes known as Ready, Go, and Online, etc. swtich.
Typically it has an Online indicator signally okay to print, or Offline
meaning not ready to print, toggling the Select switch puts the printer in
the Online/Offline mode.  Of course, if the printer is Online, then the
Online signal line is probably bad between the printer and the Grappler+.
Man o' man.  I miss my Grappler+ and Epson printer combo...
