   That works normally. Could you be more specific about printer type,
connections, and driver versions if nonstandard.

   Publish It (all versions) use their own printer drivers; GS/OS
versions should have nothing to do with that program. The other two
should be working. Have you tested printing from, say the Teach
application, a fonted line of text? Check the DC Printer control
panel if you've got a locally connected (not Appletalk) printer.

   Basically, if Publish It isn't printing, then it's sounding more
like a printer configuration (hardware problems, slot settings, etc)
problem than System Software malfunctions.
