ImageWriter Doesn't Print in Draft Quality in Word
Last reviewed: July 30, 1997

Article ID: Q27121

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 3.0, 3.01, 3.02, 4.0, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0

SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word, when printing to the ImageWriter (with driver version 2.6) in Draft mode, Word may act like it is printing, but nothing happens.

CAUSE
This problem occurs with ImageWriter driver version 2.6. Microsoft worked around this problem in Word versions 3.01 and 3.02, but the problem exists in versions 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0.

RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, do one of the following:


 * 1) If you are using Word 3.0, upgrade to 3.02. This is a free upgrade and is needed to correct other problems in this release.
 * 2) If using Word 4.0 or later, upgrade the ImageWriter driver to version 2.7 (you should also upgrade your System software, in this case, to System version 6.0 or later), or use an earlier ImageWriter driver version, such as version 2.3.
