Re: IE Script Error in OE when trying to print

No--the printer drivers are from HP and are the latest they have-April, 2004.
And, they were installed under the phone supervision of someone from their
Printer Advanced Support Group since there was a problem I couldn't fix when
I set up this new machine and installed the printer--it was a scanning issue
and he got it fixed. For two months everything worked fine until this came
up.

Note the other posts--the scary Registry fix has shown up. Do you recommend
I try it??
