Mary,

Right, Sorry. I should have thought to include that info.

   I am using a G3 firewire powerbook. The printer is an HP  
Photosmart 7260. This was given to me, and I am considering getting a  
better one. Any suggestions on that idea.

   I tried printing, in Classic, from WordPerfect and Nisus 6.0 also  
tried Z-Write. Oh yeah, I tried ClarisWorks 4.0, too. OK, this is  
some pretty old software. What can I say; I'm cheap. Well, actually,  
I can't afford to go out and spend a couple  thousand dollars on new  
software. I do want to use my graphic applications; Adobe  
Illustrator, Photoshop, and Pagemaker. I could probably afford to get  
a word processing app.

  The printer does work with TextEdit in OS X, but the print comes  
out really small. I have to use an 18 pt., (Helvetica) font on screen  
to get the printed page to look like 10 pt. And, yes I did reinstall  
the printer software - twice.

   I probably should have partitioned the hard drive and installed  
each OS on a different drive. I think I listened to the wrong advice.
Thanks,
Tony
