Hello--

I have an Imac 500 g3 running OS 9.1.

My brother printer 1440 has always been picky.. sometimes it wants to print and sometimes it doesn't... much usually a restart will get it going....

But now it only seems to like to print Appleworks.. sometiems word... but it hates Final Draft.

I have another printer that prints everthing fine (it's just slow).

So my assumption is that it's the brother printer and not any of the progrmas. I just download the laster usb driver from their website, but that didn't seem to make it happy.

Would upgrading to 9.2 make it happy? Or maybe make my software happy so it would print?

any tips out there?

thanks.

matt

I have an HL1240 and have the same problems running OS 9.2.2 and OSX using AppleWorks. Think it's probably just a glitch in Brother's software and/or AppleWorks. I've found if I use Print from the menu rather than the button everything works fine. Other than that, I'll use preview (under OSX) and print from there since I've never had problems with this app.

I have the HL1440 and have never had any problems. I'm running OSX (10.1.3), and use Office 98 in classic. Have you downloaded tha latest drivers from the Brother webpage ???
