On my 9600 they work fine together. Have you gone through the setup completely? Do you have enough hard drive freespace for Word 6 scratch disk area? IIRC even if you have LOTS of RAM Word likes to use hard drive space. Or the printer driver and software may require it. I had a problem 5 years ago when I got an Epson that insisted on hard drive free space beyond reason. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
