Can anyone give me a free software that i can download to use so i can do some practice printing on mugs etc and see what it looks like.

I have set my printer up but i bought photoshop and it has not arrived yet and i am a little impatient :biggrin:

Try Gimp.
You can print from anything (e.g. Word) and import, resize a jpg easily there - PowerDriver deals with colour management from ANY software on the PC.

Can you not download Adobe trial to keep you going? http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index ... &loc=en_us

At least you'd be learning whilst you wait :-)

The Gimp is normally very reliable as long as you choose a pre-built installer for your version of windows. If you just want to print a picture on a mug then something like the free Irfanview image software can open and resize/crop most images and then send to the printer.
