These special drivers are not the same between v3 and v4. This code is sent to the laserwriter the first time a PM doc is printed, and is kept there in case more follow. I suspect that the v3 driver already resident in the Lw is confusing v4, turning it off empties its memory, allowing you to print v4 docs. Try it the other way around, ie: print a v4 doc and then a v3 doc. If that works, then copy the v4 drivers onto the machine running v3. ________________________________________________________________________________ Dan Walkowski | To understand recursion, Univ. of Illinois, Dept. of Comp.
