[comp.sys.mac] Can't print draft mode from Word 4.0

du4@mace.cc.purdue.edu (Ted Goldstein) (10/11/89)

Hello all, Does anyone out there have any idea why I cannot print from
Word 4.0 in Draft mode on an Imagewriter II. Word 3.02 or any
other programs still print right, but when I try it from Word 4.0 with the
quality set on draft, nothing happens. My setup is a 1 MB Mac II with a 
handful of common inits. I tried it with all my inits disabled, but it 
behaved the same. Any suggestions? I hate waiting for the "Faster" mode
when all I want is a quick dirty rough draft.

     While I have your attention I have another question about Word 4.0.
The other day I was playing with some new fonts and opened up several new
font suitcases using Suitcase II. Later when I called up a document in
Word, all I got was garbage characters. I left Word, closed the new font
suitcases and tried again. The document was back to normal. I could maybe 
understand this if I had deleted the fonts from the system that the 
had used, but how did adding fonts cause Word to get confused?

Any help or information that you could offer will be greatly appreciated!

When I helped somebody with this problem, she was using an out-of-date
Imagewriter (or AppleTalk Imagewriter) driver.  She had version 2.6.
When she used version 2.7, it worked fine (I believe that's the current
version of the AT drivers).--
