    Please identify this printer piece from a Canon TS8260?

    I removed a paper jam from my Canon TS8260 which misfed from the rear feed.  In the process of removing the jam I dislodged a tiny white piece of plastic (see photo).  It ended up in the cavity which houses the printer cartridge carriage.  The printer will print documents sent through the rear feed but it no longer will pick up the paper from the cartridge.  It sends the error message that there is no paper in the cartridge, but there is.  I assume that is because this piece of plastic is not in its proper place.  I can see where the piece has come from and cant find a name for it.  Anyone know?

    Is this correct in a general, basic sense.

    Opening stock = unsold stock on hand for the period

    Purchases = all the stock you added in the period

    Closing Stock = what was left after you subtracted the sales made from the opening stock + purchases.

  • Ads playing on Windows?

    I have disabled Activex Filtering (tick next to item) in Internet Explorer but I still have a lot of ads running. When I hover over them they seem to be provided by people like "adchoices" and "adsense". Its driving me nuts. They are the little ads that are mostly static but have a moving image in them - if you know what I mean. What do I need to do to stop them because I am looking to shut down unnecessary data usage

  • What does the name Yuesheng mean in English?

    Hi folks....I asked this question a couple of days ago but I am reposting with new info. Yue Sheng is the name of an 18th cent. chinese woman. She was considered very attractive and very learned but otherwise a bit odd! The sources I am using write her name thus:

    月生

    With my limited Mandarin I translate this to mean "New Moon". What do you think?

  • About Gimp and correcting colour in picture?

    OK well I took some photos of some grey lead drawings. The paper came out grey in the photo when it should be white. I have since switched to scanning but these drawings are no longer in my possession and Im trying to salvage the photos which are unusable. How would you fix this issue in Gimp? If I white balance its still very grey. If I do a basic fiddle with the curves then I end up with a white page and no detail in the drawing...any tips?
