I can print fine on 6.1RTM

I think you need to have your printer driver installed...Sol had
a similar problem...see bug 91307

after Sol had his printer driver re-installed, it worked fine for him.

Esther, I learned from reading bug 91307 that you managed to replace Sol's print
driver with a different one and by doing that, everything seemed to work.

Would like to know what you did so I can:
+ get printing on my system to work.
+ possibly see if this is a problem with the drivers our internal computing
folks use - thsi problem began when I recently reformatted my hard disk and
installed Win 98.
+ see if this might be a common occurance for other users and/or enterprises
that we should fix.

Separately, I checked to see if this was a cache problem, but I still had the
problem after clearing all of my memory and disk cache.
