Works Spreadsheets

Works Spreadsheets works fine as a program but when you try to right click on
a works spreadsheet file and click Print - the Works splash screen pops up
but then nothing happens and trying to gain access to any works files is not
happening. You can see the wksss.exe (whatever it is) and workstore (whatever
it is) load up in task manager, ending them allows you to function as normal.

Now if you open the spreadsheet and click file print or the print icon it
works just fine and if you right click on a works document and click print it
prints just fine, it seems to be only the spreadsheet program when right
clicking on the file and selecting print.

This may seem small, but its important

Thanks!

What does it take to get the "MS-Works people" to fix such a simple and
basic probelem ?!?!?1

All the threads? I've seen ONE in the past three weeks. It's a Works
problem, not a printing issue, so ask in the right newsgroup and you'll get
an answer.

Thanks. That looks promising, but it is not documented as intended for my
series of printers (the PSC 2200) so I am a bit reluctant to start changing
drivers randomly, especially when they are known to "reduce the functionality
of the printer when used".

1. Many of the threads have titles involving simply "printing problems",
etc, without mentioning WORKS. There are numerous ones right now. If you
can't see them, you must not be looking.

2. I already atalked to HP support, the WORKS forum and here. As usual
with MS, it is ALWAYS "somebody else's problem". Although I do agree that
ist seems to be coming down to a WORKS problem.

UPDATE:
Eventually MS sent me an update notification that sent me to that driver
(link from mae above). I installed it and it works. I have lost all the
advanced control features from the computer, but at least it now works as a
basic printer/scanner. I can still adjust the features from the buttons on
the printer.
Thanks for the help.
I am still a bit disappointed at HP and MS for marketing hardware that is
obviously in common, widespread use, without having tested the combination.
