    Tried everything I can think of and a few more. Re-entered all the Canon setting at the printer. Googled and found an Acer issue - delved into Acer settings and discovered Flight mode is ON but the button is greyed out and I can't change it. Back to Google and found a suggestion that a BIOS update would fix it - at the risk of bricking the new laptop I tried that. Bios updated OK but I still can't switch off flight mode

    Other than self harming or throwing laptop in the loch - anything considered! Aspire E1-522
