Word documents won't print after upgrade

I upgraded my G4 Cubefrom OS9.2.2 to Panther successfully. I also upgraded to a new printer. When I try to print documents created in my old system on OS9 in microsoft Word, they open up OK in Classic, but the print click brings up the old printer. How do I select the new printer? The printer works fine with old Appleworks documents. Also, will my very old 1998 Word programme work in OSX or will I continue to need Classic for it to function? Any thoughts would be most welcome. Thanks.

You must install an OS 9 printer driver for the new printer and remove the driver for the old printer.
The version of Word that you have is an OS 9 only version. You can use it while running OS X via the Classic emulation but the program will not run natively in OS X. For that you will need to upgrade to an OS X version.
If you plan to continue using OS X you will need to upgrade all your old software to OS X versions including AppleWorks (6.2.9 upgrade is available for owners of AW.)

  • HP p1006 won't print after upgrade to Mavericks

    After upgrading from 10.8 to 10.9 my computer won't print anymore.  It says "Pages not found!" 
    The printer is attached to a Mac server running 10.8 which is printing fine, but my computer (running 10.9) won't print unless I boot it from the 10.8 partition which still works.
    What I've already tried:  (on my computer & server)
    Reset the printing system
    updated drivers to HPPrinterDriver2.16.1
    Repaired permissions

    Hi zmogy,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I understand you are unable to print on the 10.9.
    I will be happy to help you.
    The HPPrinterDriver2.16.1 is the latest HP printing and scanning software for OS X Mountain Lion, OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard.
    Plug the printer directly into the 10.9 computer and run the Apple Updates to install the Apple drivers.
    OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
    Test the printing.
    I can't guarantee it will print over the server.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

  • Is it possible to retrieve word documents from my imac after upgrading with yosemite from a 10.8 to a 10.10?

    I have just upgraded my iMac from a 10.8 to a 10.10 with OS X Yosemite and have lost Microsoft Word.  Is there any way to retrieve my lost documents and what is a replacement for the microsoft word program?  When I try to open a word document  a notice comes up informing me 'you can't open the app "Microsoft Word" because PowerPC apps are no longer supported'.  Are there any options here?  Appreciate any info.

  • Word document won't 'print' to PDF on proper paper size

    I have a document in MS Word that's on a 5.5x8.5 page size. If I do a Save As, the resulting PDF uses the proper paper size, but it also shows color--which I don't want for this particular document.
    When I do Print and choose Adobe PDF, I can choose Black/white which is great, but I'm struggling to get it to use the right paper size. I've tried ever combination I can think of in the Default Setting and Adobe PDF Page Size options, but can't get it to show anything but 8.5x11.
    Any thoughts on how to get the right paper size using Print to PDF?

    Is this a Word document generated by Adobe's RoboHelp product or just a document generated directly in Word?
    If the latter, you are asking in the wrong place. Even if you are using RoboHelp, this looks more like a question to ask in the Acrobat forums.

  • Appleworks won't print after upgrading to 10.4

    I had bought Appleworks and it was working fine and then a few months later upgraded to OS 10.4.2 Now appleworks (the installed version) won't print (I deleted the other). They are the exact same version. My printer works fine in other applications. I made sure the printer was selected in appleworks printer set up also. I also reset permissions to make sure something wasn't messed up.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    So nobody has had this problem???

  • Firefox 13 or 14 won't print after upgrade

    After upgrading from FF 13, I am no longer able to print from any website--the system print dialog box fails to open. This bug is also present in FF14 Beta as well.
    I have already attempted to reset printer.printer (all of them) from about: config with no success. If I roll back to FF12, the bug is still occurring. The only solution that I have found is restoring a previous restore point.
    Selecting print within print preview or control+p does not work as well.
    I have also started FF in safe mode with no plugins/add on's with the same result.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    Hi jscher2000 -- You're are correct, there is no error message, and no print dialog. I already tried changing the default printer on the system level and the same bug is occurring.
    cor-el -- I have reset FF and created a new profile, sadly, nothing has changed.
    I'm am thinking there may be a .dll change with the new update that is affecting the print dialog; but that is just one possible theory.
    While researching this on Google, it appears that this has happened to others in the past with various version, however, there was no solution.
    More ideas would be appreciated. In the meantime, it looks like I'm going to restore a restore point and use a previous version until there is a fix or workaround.

  • C6150 won't print after upgrade from Vista to Win 7

    Hello.
    I have a C6150 AIO that worked fine under Vista.  Since I've upgraded to Win 7, I cannot get a printout from any application or the Windows test print.  The HP Solution Center test print works fine.
    -  Printer is hooked up wirelessly
    -  I've installed the latest driver from HP that is supposed to be Win 7 ready
    -  I've also installed the patch they recommend after upgrading from Vista
    There is no error.  Print job shows up briefly in the print manager window, then disappears as though it printed.  I'm at a loss, any help would be appreciated.

    I hope I have now sorted this problem.....
    After numerous atems to install HP Windows 7 drivers & apps and failing I decided to restore the PCs to the day before I first installed the Drivers etc.
    Then I unistall HP software and reinstalled the new drivers etc. This I had to do a couple of times on the Laptop (restore 3 days back).
    After installing the HP software you can print a test page, print OK. Then goto printer properties and ty to print a test page from there, if this is unsuccessful  restore system and start again.  Most it took me was three attemps.
    Now allI have to do is hope that the windows updates dont mess it all up again!
    Hope this helps you......... Good luck

  • 8500A Plus Won't print after idle 20 mins

    Windows 7, 64 bit, no service pack yet. Tried updating firmware, but by computer grays out the printer option.  This is my THIRD printer from HP (exact same model) that has had the exact same issue.  Must be a software issue, but can't find it.  Printer won't print after idle for 20 mins.  Goes into printer que, but doesn't complete.  Issue started Jan 2, no big changes to computer at time.  Has anyone had this issue that can help?  I'm about ready to go buy a Brother.  Thanks
