Q: appleworks file won't print in Snow Leopard

I recently migrated apps and files from an older iMac to an iMac5,1 (late-2006 model). I use the same HP photosmart 7960 printer. When I send a file to print, one I have printed before with the old iMac, it won't print. I went onto HP's site to download a driver but during installation it says the setup assistant quit unexpectedly. I am trying to print files from Apple Works 6. I can print from Text Edit and from Mail,

Can you help? Thanks.

iMac5,1, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

    It's more likely something like the new computer having a different version of the font you were using. Try highlighting all the text and selecting the font again and see if that makes a difference. Also, if there are images, a corrupt image can also cause a file not to print.

    I've had to do this many times over the past four or five years as Apple updates the included versions of the basic fonts, like Palatino, for example.

     

    Thank you Barbara! This problem surfaced today out of the blue. I found that I had to perform a SAVE AS and change the font for the printer to stop spitting out blank pages. Neither the Save As nor the font change alone would solve the problem.
