Mickeysoft Office Pro 2000. I've been through all the settings in both
Office and the printer. Mickeysoft tells me this problem exists with a few
printers and there is nothing that can be done about it because the printer
drivers aren't compatible. I can print ok from Publisher, Quicken, Tax Cut,
Peachtree and others. It's only Office that messes up. Also, when I'm in
Office and I choose to print many copies of a document, it'll only print one
at a time. Brother and Lexmark seem to be the ones mentioned most in the
Mickysoft NG's as not being compatible with Office. Windoze 2000 had the
correct driver, worked just fine until I upgraded to Windoze XP. Is it
possible to copy a driver from the Win 2000 CD without installing Win 2000?
