Thanks, one Lichtblick. One sign of hope. Since I don't have a printer 
compatible with the pad, I need not print from there anyhow.But did you know 
before bothering you all today , I had talked with an Apple girl  and she had 
nothing third party to offer either? 

At least I feel a bit more positive toward this pad. I love how it enlarges to 
read, all the rest is still growing on me, emailing perhaps, when on the go, 
but there I have issues with the insight account which need to be addressed. As 
soon as I want to read an email in insight, it flips to the home page. I  
simply finally disengaged the account. Till further notice!!!
