You're using software from the brain dead idiots at Broderbund, that's the
problem. Try printing to a network printer with Print Shop GS. It won't
accept appletalk as a printer port, it will only work if you have a direct
connect. For this reason and the heavy copy protection they've always used,
I say Broderbund sucks a giant peckerhead and wouldn't buy anything they sell.
