Michael,
As a follow-up to my previous message regarding your lack of success in printing to Windows printers, I am now back at home and have checked out my PageStream preferences. It is absolutely ages since I had had cause to look at the preferences, and I was surprised at how simple the printer preferences were (i.e. there is little scope to get messed up, so I can understand your frustration!)
Anyway, I went to the relevant menu option ('File/ Print Setup . . .') and tried to recall what that setting was that made things suddenly work all those years ago. It is too long ago to be certain now, but I suspect it must have been to do with the 'Faster Output (Beta)' option: it seems that this should be turned OFF (i.e. the box must be unchecked/unticked). That's how I have it set, and the Windows printer works fine for me. Looking at the limited choices, it MUST have been this setting that was the key to it all. (I'm assuming that you have the X and Y offsets set to zero, and that you have tried setting the printer to 'Windows' and have then chosen your windows printer under 'Windows Setup'.)
Hope this helps.
Good luck,
Malcolm
