MacGroup: Printer Problem

2003-11-18 Thread Rex Baldazo
Sounds like it might be a print quality setting. In Word XP you go to the File-Print menu, which pops up the print dialog. Then click the Options button in that dialog and one of the checkboxes will be Draft Output. That's useful if you are in fact wanting to print out a quick draft, and it

Thanks, Rex. I wish it were that simple. I sholud have mentioned that I have tried different print resolutions, from 300 DPI X 600 DPI up to 1200 DPI Highest quality. There is a slight improvement at the highest levels, but still not as good as I have in the other programs I've used (Finale

Try this: Open the document using TextEdit (assuming you are running Panther?) then print using mid to high quality and see if it improves. Oddly enough you might find that some application/hardware combinations do not print as well as the freebie Apple ones do (for example, Preview prints

2003-11-18 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When I decided to upgrade to Panther I installed a new 60 gig hard drive on my G3 because my previous hard drive was only 6 gig. So, I installed the hard drive, partitioned it, put OS 9 on 10 gig and OS X Panther on 50 gig. Well, I'm running somewhat smoothly; however, programs/applications

Do you have Default folder installed? I had an old version and it created some of this same behavior with apps quitting on me. Upgrade to the newest, 1.9.1, I think. When I decided to upgrade to Panther I installed a new 60 gig hard drive on my G3 because my previous hard drive was only 6 gig.

My husband's ibook locked up, and when we restarted we get the blinking question mark. We have tried starting up from the CD (running 10.3), but it does not seem to recognize any startup disk. I have tried the 10.0 CD, the 10.1 CD, and the 9.2 CD. I found on Apple how to hold down option at
