Hi Mark

A tutorial might help. Is there any information about the errors returned? Or could I send in the log file that is created to make this more specific.

Hi Mark

Second Option is much better. Send us the log file and also the 'hp-check' ouput.

If you want to attach something you can see a "Create bug report" at the bottom of this page. Click on that.
Also you can copy and paste the output of hp-check right here in the message box.

Thanks and Regards,
