I had a chance to have my dealer look at the 2000 and he found two bad data

lines and by replacing the 8520 the system worked fine at the dealers. I got

home and it still did not work with the printer, and now the printer did

not work with the second 2000 either (which I got the ferrite beads removed

from while I was doing all this by the way). To make a long story short it

turns out that one of my printer cables, and the switchbox (A-B that is) also

seem to be bad now, sounds like I got some sort of short/surge/static---per

haps because it is so dry around here with this drought this spring and

summer?????. Anyway I am now working, but no longer can use the A-B switch

with digiview, its back to changing between the printer and digiview by

removing the cable each time (what a drag), but I don't trust the switchbox

after this epsiode.
