I have an HP 970Cse DeskJet, a Konica-Minolta Color Laser and an Epson CX5400 InkJet. All of them print just fine from Appleworks, Word, textedit, fill-in-the-blank. They're all networked and print from any computer in the house. Virginia, what specifically is the problem that you're having? Brian, it was my understanding that Samsung was no longer going to be supporting Apple. Tim Tim, the real problem I'm having is with HP - they don't seem to think it is a problem that their printer doesn't print properly with Appleworks. I've trashed and reinstalled drivers and done everything usually done to fix this at the advice of lots of folks, but the bottom line is, HP admits it doesn't work and they don't care. Since this subject is off topic really, I've got advice elsewhere, and I'm not asking for advice here, and I've found my workaround that USUALLY works, but just a warning FYI- I've talked to Appleworks user groups and this may not be true for all HP printers, but regular oddities crop up with Appleworks and HP printers. I now have my other printer back from warrantee repair and can afford some time to mess around with the backup HP 3845 I bought. In every program EXCEPT Appleworks it USUALLY prints just fine. Though it sometimes asks about page orientation, I do not really have to go back to page setup, nor do I have to save first, but I just say ok and ask it to print again and it usually does so in my usual Portrait Letter orientation. As for AW, despite trashing and reinstalling drivers etc. etc., usually the way I get it to print is to go to page setup and select orientation, save, close document, reopen, reselect page orientation, and WAIT WAIT WAIT doing NOTHING on the computer for about 2 minutes, then ask it to print and it does so. The HP help phone folks says this is a problem with AW and they are not interested in helping. I won't buy HP again, even if I find a printer that works with AW because I don't think they'll help if I have other problems. Their attitude is a problem for me. Virginia S.
