47071 2002-05-04 06:58:00 Just installed a map software programme which a friend passed to me (hence no manual) and whilst I can get it to appear on the screen etc.etc. It will not print out.

It comes up with the message 'GDI failure - resume or no?'

I can not get it to just print the screen or get it to copy to another programme etc.

Any ideas?

47072 2002-05-06 06:40:00 Sounds like a driver problem. Try loading a new version of the print driver.

Failing that, I have resorted to using downward compatible drivers for HP deskjets in the past. ie, use a DJ600 driver for a DJ660C, that sort of thing. Can avoid issues with some weird drivers that try to do too much.

47073 2002-05-07 09:19:00 Thanks for that - it worked to some extent. I ended up usinga 500C printer driver (still printing on the 840C though). One or two of the 300 series worked and 340 was about the same as the 500C.

HOWEVER although the outlines, colours etc. are great the text, numbers, symbols etc. are all MUCH MUCH smaller i.e. unreadable, then shown on the chart that appears on the screen.

Any ideas?
