[HM] can't print in Classic 9

[Samantha Cornell]

I have the same problem with my Canon, and my HP.   It rarely matters, 
but I have a client that sends content in some obscure version of 
Powerpoint that will only open in PowerPoint 98 viewer.  Since I can't 
print it, I have to flip back and forth constantly, it's maddening.

I hate to admit it, but that's what made me give in to my husband's 
requests to buy a Dell laptop (from his school...cheap).  I was willing 
to deal with a Dell in the house just  so I could open these darn 
Powerpoints...

I would be interested in any solutions you may come across.
