Someone recently estimated the cost of Ink the printer manufactures sell to us is close to $1,000,000 a barrel! The ink is almost as expensive as the printers. I bought my ink jet on sale for $50 and the ink cartridges are between $35 and $45 dollars, each.

How do you get the printer to print after the driver is installed?

After installing the driver, you should be able to just plug your printer into your computer and let the hardware wizard set it up (assuming your computer has Plug and Play). It should then print with no issue. If it doesn't, make sure you have the correct driver installed. I would suggest removing the installed printer and driver completely and using the installation CD that came with the printer to do a clean reinstall, but if you don't have that, just go to the manufacturer's website and search for your driver. A quick Google search can help too.

What is error control in networking?

An error-detection code by itself does not control errors, but it can be used to request repeated transmission of errored code words until they are received error-free. This technique is called ARQ. In terms of error performance, ARQ outperforms forward error correction (FEC) because code words always are delivered error-free (provided the error-detection code doesn't fail). However, this performance does not come free of charge - we pay for it with decreased throughput.

The chief advantage of ARQ is that error detection requires simpler decoding than error correction. ARQ also is adaptive because it only re-transmits information when errors occur. On the other hand, ARQ schemes require a feedback path that may not be available.
