Hi and welcome.
There is a full manual somewhere on the web if you know how to set up your printer. I ended up with it trying to print each page on two sheets and only one side printing.
I pulled it's plug before it bankrupted me.
Then I went to the second site that Gurgle recommended and here we are.
Fronty Family.
http://www.fronteraowners.co.uk/forums/viewforum.php?f=16
You can also put your model, or your problem, in to the search bit and get so lost into it that time has no meaning.
Also note Frontys are becoming rarer and more popular but they don't make them anymore and there is at least one in every other scrapyard if you need bits.
Modd it up to the eye balls or restore it; pimp it even; but hang on to it.

If you need something done quickly just ask a busy woman then get the f"k out of her way.
