I am thinking about getting a 9-pin printer here in Canada before going to the UK next week. Does anybody know what difficulties I may have vis-a-vis the different Voltage and "Hertzeage?" in England? Is it sufficient to get a printer with a 110v-220v switch? Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks, Judith 23005_3354@uwovax.uwo.ca

When I worked for a US computer manufacturer in Europe, all our printers were switchable, and when we'd get them in we would switch them to 220V, and off we'd go. -- David Harrington internet: dgh@unify.UUCP Unify Corporation ...!{csusac,pyramid}!unify!dgh 3870 Rosin Court voice: (916) 920-9092 Sacramento, CA 95834 fax: (916) 921-5340
