Nutmegger Printing Problems

Print Screen: another Windows95 print screen utility is PrintNow

"No Pages to Print": Hidden frames in web sites cause much confusion
when trying to print. In Netscape, click on the part of the screen that
you want to print - this will make that frame active (if frames is the
culprit). 

Another Netscape help is under File - Print Preview. If you only see
part of the page here, this is due to the frames - go back to page &
click area you want, see Print Preview again & text will probably be
there.

Your problems with getting nothing from the printer could be a number of
things, but probably have to do with Windows95. First, be sure the
correct printer is the default printer. It sometimes help to remove all
other choices so that the public doesn't change printer in printer
options dialogue. Be sure the correct drivers are installed. As a last
resort, reload Windows (not as drastic as it sounds & it worked for me
*after* I spent hours trying everything else!)
