Say, check your copy of printmonitor, have you tried printing without it? Perhaps you are running with a flakey telnet... I've heard of stuff affecting printings that I wouldn't of suspected before... But with the telnet fixes we seem to be back in business. We haven't upgraded in Space past 6.0.5 and I don't suspect we will until the fall... "Patience is a virtue" Read that somewhere else... Isn't the printer driver the only thing you have to replace? There is a 7.0 compatible 6.0.7driver that should keep lasers from rebooting... Seems strange to me to be mixing 6.0.7 and 7.0 stuff on the same machine... -- Pink Pirate, Inc. -------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ Disclaimer: I am only related to my parents.
