Hi,
I opened word, and typed "Are We There Yet?" into the (I assume new)
file. Use File>Print and ensured it explicitly chose my printer (made
sure it was connected).
But my printer presented me with a blank sheet of paper. (As does the
Mac OS print preview, so I think my printer is printing me exactly what
the Mac OS print preview sees).
I then tried to use the toolbar 'print' button, but it still complained
that it "couldn't communicate with the printer ... ". So I think it
somehow can't communicate with my Mac OS.
Thanks for the suggestion. All experiments are useful ... even those
that don't provide the hoped-for result.
More ideas, anyone?
