I guess I need to be more detailed. Sorry about that.
First, I have auto downloading of MS updates to Windows 2000. I don't
always check what they are for before I install them but I'm not sure that I
would know the difference. (However, I now know how to check.)
I uninstalled both MS Office 2003 and the driver for the Canon i865 printer
and reloaded both from the original disk. I read or heard that a recent MS
updates caused some problems among other things with printing but I don't
know which update and I have many of them installed.
What's really puzzling is it prints from most other programs that I have
tried but not any of the Office ones.
