Weird Print Issue
I have 2 Canon printers - I use one for text and one for photos. I
created a document that has photos and clip art and want to print to the i960, my photo printer (which I use fairly often with Word for a newsletter I am responsible for). Every time I try to send it to that printer, a blank page comes out. When I send the exact same thing to the pixma 3000, it prints perfectly fine. Now I know I can just put photo paper into the text printer ---- but am puzzled and curious why this would happen. I even made a new document and put the same content into it - gave it a different name - and it still wouldn't print. Very odd....... Marianne |

It sounds like a printer setting issue, not a Word issue. And I gotta tell
you - having one printer for text and one for pictures does seem a bit quirky. But hey - it's your choice.

I agree with JoAnn Paules, it's definately a printer issue, and might be
associated with that specific printers ability to read the data. For newsletters, I am constantly using a variety of different graphs mostly, and photos. It does becomes more of challange, when mixed together in one document. The settings for "Photo" on one printer, and "Text" on another could be a part of the problem, simply based on printers capabilities. If this is the first time, this problem has arrived, it's not one to overlook. The best thing is to contact Canon, for a workaround, driver update, or other options. It would also be helpful, in general, to state what Word Version is being used, along with printer release versions; when you contact them.

I don't think it's at all unreasonable to have two printers. I have a
LaserJet for monochrome documents (mostly text) and a DeskJet for color documents (mostly pictures). -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't have the printers "set" any special
way actually -- just the i960 (which has 6 separate ink cartridges and therefore should print photos better) always has photo paper loaded and the pixma always has plain paper loaded. The really odd thing about this is I have been making a 50th anniversary "yearbook" for my husband's upcoming class reunion and have 55 separate documents, all have photos inserted as well as clip art and text -- and all printed great on the photo printer (photo paper pages copy clearer) except for this one document. I cannot see anything different about the one that won't print. I gave in a printed it on the "plain paper" printer with photo paper -- just got tired of messing with it. And yes, maybe I'm quirky, I think I'm lucky to have the luxury of 2 printers. Marianne "katin42" wrote in message ...

I'm too accustomed to working on my stuff at home. I can only afford one
printer and I'm not displeased with the quality so I don't even think about getting a second. And if I did, I'd need a bigger desk. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Suzanne S.

Well, my office is at home, and I actually have three or four desks,
depending on how you count. One, a little spinet desk I inherited from my grandmother, has my old IBM typewriter (Wheelwriter) on it. One is a "writing" desk (actually a supply cabinet with a fold-out desktop that my husband and father-in-law built to my design that I use for writing and other miscellaneous tasks (stapling, folding, etc.). One is a sort of "computer cart" that I got (temporarily) for my first computer; it now accommodates my DeskJet and my scanner in a sort of cabinet custom-built by a client. The scanner sits on top of this sort of wooden box and the printer on a pull-out wooden tray underneath. My main office-type desk (assemble-it-yourself schlock from an office superstore) has my computer monitor and LaserJet 4100 on top, keyboard and mouse platform on the pullout shelf, and CPU underneath. It has a pullout "return" that incorporates a storage drawer and a file rack. Next to it is a two-drawer rolling file cabinet with my LaserJet 3100 (MFD that I use primarily as a fax machine) on top (across the room is the original four-drawer filing cabinet that was the first thing I bought with my first paycheck from my first summer job, 41 years ago g). -- Suzanne S.
