SUDDENLY, AW 3.0 won't print!! HAAAEELP!



The subject line states the problem.  The ole' Panasonic KXP-1091 still 
prints from Jumpstart 3.01 (my GS/OS launcher/utility) AND from AWGS 1.1 
(and I imported the spreadsheet file in question from Appleworks 3.0!).  
The things I've checked: using OA-H, trying to print a wordprocessing 
file (rather than SS), the printer, the cables, the Videx Uniprint 
parallel interface card, the Appleworks "Other Activities" interface card 
codes (Control-I 80N or Control-I 200N), and of course, the fact that the 
system works with other software (the control panel "DC printer" and 
slots are unchanged: parallel card, Epson, slot 1).  When I hit OA-P and 
the three Returns, the thermometer appears, and fills, but nothing 
happens at the printer.  This happened after I "printed" a spreadsheet to 
the clipboard for a WP document, so I thought maybe I just didn't specify 
the printer correctly.  Nope, happened again!  It refuses to print even 
after I powered down everything for ten minutes, and after I PRINTED with 
AWGS!

Retracing my steps:  the last thing I printed (and aborted half way 
through) was a Hypercard GS calendar.  Then I went away for the weekend.
I didn't think my Woz 01 would miss me that much!  Everything booted 
fine, from Slot 7 RAMfast/La Cie Tsunami HD. I use JumpStart 3.01 as my 
launcher, with a few Inits/NDA's, including Ultrablank....a stable 
platform for me for months.  I did recently activate a few unused 
partitions of the HD when I did a back up last week.  I put my newly 
acquired Hypercard on one of those partitions.  I called in my internet 
access using Zlink, had a session, then quit to go to Appleworks 3.0 with 
about 12 Timeout applications.  Loaded lickety-split like usual, allowed 
manipulations on the SS and saves, etc.  I "printed" to the clipboard.  
When I went to print a block of the SS via one of the three printer 
variations I have added, it acted quite smug and self-satisfied filling  
the thermometer, but nada!  So I tried each of the three "printers" I 
have: nada!

Any insights, or is it a Halloween goblin!!!  I recently put Cogito, 
Shanghai II updates, and some downloaded text on the HD.  Could it be 
a... a........ VIRUS????
