Help! 🙂 I've run into a strange problem with Final Copy (v 1.1). I have a letter which I've been editing. It printed out fine last night, but today after a few edits my system crashes! My equipment: A3000/25 — 50 Mb Quantum & 70 Mb Rodime — external floppy — 6Mb ram (2 chip, 4 fast) HP DeskJet 500 — using the 'experimental' driver uploaded to CIS KickStart V37.175 Workbench V37.67 Program launched from WB Here's what happens: I made some changes to the letter, decided it was just about done and printed it (final). I left the room for a moment (as it was printing) and when I come back the printer is repeatedly resetting and the monitor screen is yellow (flashing in time with the printer resets). A bunch of the modem lights were on also (weird!). OK, I say, the printer driver is hosed, and I switch back to the 2.04 DJ driver. No go, same thing happens. During this, I notice some small changes need to be made to the letter, so I make them. Now when I print I get a GURU# 8000 0004. I was also able to print this document in draft mode without problem (doesn't look as nice, of course). The letter itself is a couple of paragraphs long and includes some font changes and paragraph margin changes. Any ideas? Bill – via Whap!

Hmmm. I don't know for sure what happened. I have a feeling that a memory "bug" during printing with version 1.1 could be the culprit. Once you get version 1.2, see if you have a similar problem. In the meantime, I would appreciate it if you could either upload the document to me at 75300,670 or send it to me by mail. If there is a problem still in FC, we can quickly fix it as long as we can make it happen again. Woody

OK, sounds like a plan to me! Oh course, I bought FC just before I left on Christmas vacation, and I haven't sent the registration in yet… *sigh* I guess it goes in the mail tomorrow! BTW, I found that if I delete the blank line following the salutation, the document prints just fine! I'll e-mail you the document separately (it's a small file). Thanks for the help! Bill – via Whap!
