OK, I downloaded and installed a new driver from Canon on one of the
computers and at least it's talking directly to the printer and
printing. But the one my wife uses would not even run her text editing
programs after trying to print from them and having to force quit them.
She won't let me tinker with it right now, so I'll have to find out
later if those apps will straighten out.
The printing problem first appeared when she tried to print from
Appleworks. (yes I know it's an antique, but she won't switch) But then
I could not get it to print from Bean either. When I tried to add the
printer in "Print and Fax," I could see at the bottom of that utility
that it wanted me to select a driver, but since I had printed from that
computer to this printer before, I didn't understand why I had to select
a driver.
Interesting!
