Thanks, Barnhill. Problem solved, it seems that someone out there had a
'clue.' at any rate you spent all that precious ink on what you assumed was
putting me in my place. Well, Barnhill, just like the last writer you do not
have a clue. I did what I should have done in the beginning - uh..you know
talked to Hewlett Packard..and I do not know how close youa nd JoAnn are but
enjoy, okay? and next time use all that wasted energy on praising Joann and
try and HELP SOMEBODY when they ask a simple printer question, okay???? I
showed your emails to my office, it seems we all around here feel that you
both just want attention. See ya!!

You would have lost precious time without JoAnn's answer, too, since no one
else has proposed a solution, and there's always a remote possibility that
her answer might be correct for some users. It is also true that printing
problems are often not Word's fault. I don't understand what you mean by
"click on the color bar."

If your document contains wrapped graphics or text boxes, make sure that you
have "Drawing objects" checked on the Print tab of Tools | Options and don't
have "Draft mode" checked. Also, since you don't mention what version of
Word you have, I can't point you to specific articles, but if you will
search the Microsoft Knowledge Base for "troubleshoot printing," you will
get a number of articles on troubleshooting printing issues (I get 44 when I
search in the TechNet KB: 6 for Word 2003, 10 for Word 2002, 17 for Word
2000, and the rest for earlier versions).

The fact is that I asked about the MALFUNCTION of a printer, not how to
insert the cartridge; no it's not a start, JoAnn..I have lost precious
time
with your answer; please no more of your responses it is obvious to me
that
you do not know the answer. Thanks.

It was a starting point. Do you think that it's never happened to
someone?

And once again, the fact that your printer doesn't work properly isn't a
Word issue.

Are you sure you took the tape off of the print heads of your ink
cartridges?

BTW - not a Word issue.
