[WinMac] Can't Print Word 98 with Greek Letters

Hi,

This discussion has triggered a long-running problem I've been having
with Word '98 for the Mac. It's not a cross-platform issue fo rme, but
after the discussion I was wondering if any of you know of solutions.

Printing to my Personal Laserwriter NT has always been finicky for
complex pages. Navigator has always been the worst with animated gifs /
Java etc (at least I think that might be doing it)

But now I can no longer print Word 98 documents *if* I have greek text
included in the normal Palatino text. I'm quoting commentaries on
various biblical texts and they include greek. The only way to print them
is to use my HP Deskwriter C or to change all the fonts back to english
(which then makes them harder for me to read as I can read greek)

I've recently upgraded my NT to 8 megs of RAM, but no luck. Any ideas?

PS I'm running a PPC 6500/225 with 64 megs and a G3 Powerbook, both
running OS 8.5 and both of them have the same problem.

> had this problem too, setting up our Canon ColorPass 5000/CLC 800 printer
>on a Blue+White G3 running OS 8.5.1. The tech from Canon suggested to use
>the Adobe PS Printer 8.5.1. When I installed PSPrinter 8.5.1 on a
>Blue+White G3, it replaced PrintingLib 8.6 with PrintingLib 8.5.1.
>Fortunately PrintingLib 8.6 was in the trash can, so I just put it back in
