Yes - I have printed a chapter - thanks. Before I got this email actually. I will do as you suggest re saving as above. While I am not going to print the whole book - it seemed to me some sections would be helpful to me to have in hard copy. I don't want to kill too many trees! And ... my printer works in mandrake, and even webpages better now. I appreciate the time various people have taken to help me with this.
