Annually I do my tax with e-Tax and VPC3 with no hassles. This year
I have upgraded to VPC5 and everything went smoothly until I tried to
print my return for my records. No way could I get it to print,
either to the "MacInkjet Printer" or direct to my Epson SP720 printer
whose Windows driver I downloaded from Epson and installed into
Windows98. In either case everything went smoothly and the printer
finished up with a file in the queue which initiated the printer then
stopped jobs and a "Communications error" for no apparent reason.
I tried all the obvious settings, unpluggings, cable jigglings and
reboots with no success.
The cure was increasing the assigned PC memory from 145MB to 350MB,
when all returned to normal and it happily prints. As I rarely print
from VPC this situation had not arisen before.
VPC5 users take note and save yourselves the hours I wasted!
