Then I removed the checks for "enable change of clocks" & "automatically modify config.sys". Next I REM'd the line "Set TZ=AEST-10AEDT, 10, -1, 0, 7200, 3, -1, 0, 7200, 3600" in my config.sys and typed a new line "SET TZ=AEST and saved that. From a command line I ran settime and the time was set. Have I done everything properly and does Settime run automatically now?

I don't think this is a driver or OS/2 - eCS setup problem, rather a hardware fault. Do you have a windoze box that you can connect it to - if that also reports printer Jammed - then you have a hardware fault. I would open all door and panels and make sure the micro switches haven't been damaged in some way or have paper dust or dirt in them. Cheers/2 Ed.
