My printer works great under Windows ME except when I try
to print e-mail off of AOL. There is no response, and I
suspect that what I try to print is being sent over the
net. Trojan horse?

AOL customer service has not been able to help. I get dumb
questions such as, "is your printer turned on?" in spite
of explaining that I can print anything but what comes
from AOL.

As far as I know, there's no trojan that does this (but I may be wrong -
easily!)

Which version of AOL are you running? (and whereabouts in the world are you,
as AOL operates everywhere??) -

I assume you've checked File|Print Setup in the AOL screen??
Does it make any difference whether you're online of offline when printing??
