Apparantly, someone at Apple thought GS users were too ignorant to know whether or not they have a color ribbon in the printer, so the print manager checks to see if there is a color ribbon present. Unfortunately, the print manager isn't nearly as bright as the average color-blind wumpus and isn't always right. To fix the problem, just click the cancel button and turn the printer off and on again. That usually works for me. Yes I'm being sarcastic, but I don't get enough sleep. Now, leave me alone. -- _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ ' | This ' This recession too shall pass, but Congress goes on forever.| Space ------------------------------------ | for 2hnemarrow@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu | -- Louis Rukeyser | Rent PPark@volta.ece.ukans.edu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Christopher Robin at Bloom County BBS, Dearborn, MI: 313-582-0888 Preston Park at Macrocosm BBS, Lawrence, KS: 913-841-9446
