John, while a computer may be, for all practical purposes, infallible,
humans statistically make mistakes 15% of the time. Life gets easier if
you can see your way to making allowances for that. Especially if there
is the remote chance that you have made some mistakes. 

HP Scanners, I have an HP PSC 1510 All-In-One. It's worked just fine
until a week ago. Then it wouldn't scan and I got all aggravated. After
re-booting, using smart to check all of my installed rpms and pouring
over the docs with terminal windows opened all over the desktop, when I
opened the lid and re-positioned the document, it lit up and scanned. 

Opening the damn lid to the scanner. Who would have thought? :) Ric
