Hello Klaus, thanks for the Help. I reinstalled my Epson RX 580 Printer Software, then updated the drivers from the Epson Website.
Page Set-up was still not working.
So I reinstalled Appleworks 6, then updated it to 6.2.9. ( I got all the disks and saved all the Uppdate .dmg's)
I have 4 built-in hard drives, the largest one split into 3 separate volumes one of which is Techtool's E-drive), 3 of them have more or less the same data on it for back-up, all but one have their own boot start.
I had the same problem with all the drives. Each day I update Appleworks spreadsheets which have 4 pages, then save with new date. I seldom need to print them, and never had any trouble doing so, until this time.
I went back a few years and picked one of the dated spreadsheets, opened it, then tried Page-Set-up and it worked. It did that several times until I had narrowed down to the first dated SS in which Page set-up did not work: It was dated Oct 1, 2009. All later sheets had the same problem no Page Set-up possible, all earlier sheets were not so affected.
I made a copy of the last working SS, saved it as a template, erased all the data, then tried Page Set-up and it worked, I copied the data from a later sheet into it, and saved to desk under new name. I tried Print using PDF Print, then noticed that the old sheet I had used as template had only 3 Pages.
I had to add new cells to get my 4 Page system back. But here was a new problem, I could print, but it would only print the old cell range from the 3 Page spreads. There was no way to print sheet 4. Even the extra cells in sheet 3 would not print. Now that must be caused by Appleworks! Or rather the Appleworks updates which had been all over the place in their last glory days. (I had tried to back-peddle trying with Appleworks 6 and Appleworks 5, even Clarisworks, well it did not work but Appleworks 6 files now add the extension .cwk to all files - even though Preferences are set to "No Extensions" and I click on "No Extensions" while saving files. The only way to get rid of these extension is to save the file, then highlight the name of the file
in its folder, and change delete the extension from the file name. If this file is then opened up and saved a under a new nme the extension is gone from the new file as well.)
I just about gave up here. I had checked all the disks with Disk Utility to verify Permissions, and check the Volumes. Nothing was found. I brought in the Techtool and checked all the drives , and volumes: nothing found. I noticed here that my most actively used drive needed defrag, and so I used Techtool to defrag. I tried the next day and discovered that the new 4 page spread sheet template would now print all pages!
So now I know what to do If I need to print from an old spresdsheet that has no Page Seutp. I simply copy its contents to my new 4 sheet template. All my new sheets are now done using the new template.
