Hello Richard
Problem solved. I uninstalled printer as you suggested and reinstalled. My
printer is a bjc 4400 350x350 but it will print 350x720. To print this
resolution you have to use Bjc 6000 driver so that is what I installed. All
this according to my Canon maual. Printing looks good. I plan to install as
a second printer under a diferent printer name as 350x350 just to see what
happens.
I probably did have a Star office print job qued in as I had been looking
over that program prior to installing my printer.
Thanks much,
Doug
