= SYMPTOMS =

If you press the ESC (escape) key to cancel a Letter Writer, Mailroom or Checkbook print-to-file task, you may receive an error message similar to the following:

Doggone! I failed you! I couldn’t start printing because of a problem with the printer. Please check its instructions to make sure it’s set up correctly, then try again.

-or-

Sniff! I’m Sorry! I couldn’t start printing because of a problem with the printer. Please check its instructions to make sure it’s set up correctly, then try again.

-or-

Woof! An error has occurred! I’m having trouble getting the printer to work.

This error message also appears if you click Cancel when you are prompted for a print-to filename.

These messages can vary slightly depending on your personal guide.

= RESOLUTION =

These messages may lead you to believe that your printer is improperly configured. However, if the message was generated by use of the ESC key or the Cancel button, your printer configuration is probably fine and you can ignore this message.
