    I know what you mean. The system I setup for my friend used a Canon
Bubble jet printer and CakeWalk gave him some major fits accepting the
software to print ANYTHING out of it. We finally had to go call Tech support
for Canon and ask if they had another driver or there might be some patch
that we could use. Seems there's only a couple of systems Cakewalk recognizes
w/o problem and they are mostly designed for industry specific use and
they're big-bucks to buy. Since this program was designed for that setup,
they didn't see any need to change the perameters fro non-industry specifics.
Hope you get it figured out soon.... TTYL friend

assistant: Hi Kris,
In a message to All you wrote:
This sounds like an IRQ conflict. Most sound cards, when installed, use IRQ5
as
a default. Unfortunately, this is also used by LPT1 (the default printer
port).
In most cases, this causes no problems. I suspect this is one of the problem
cases :-(
Try using control panel to re-configure the sound card IRQ to use IRQ7
(LPT2).
This has a disadvantage in that most games need a default IRQ of 5 on the
sound
card, so sound may not work there.
You do not say which sound card is being used, so I can not be more specific
in
my reply, however I hope this helps.
Bye bye!

I'm not sure if it helps, but I recently set a friend up w/ an entire system
(P200+ MB, 32Mg EDO RAM, 4 Gig HD, 57700 fax\modem\voice card and a Canon
Bubble jet printer. This had WIN'95 pre-loaded, along w/ several other
supposedly helpful Multimedia programs. After intstalling the Cakewalk Pro
5.0 version, we ran into a similar problem and the tech support at Cakewalk
told us that in many cases, their programs would not recognize ANY orders to
a driver-printer setup. Something about the translation being unrecognizeable
to many systems, so they haven't as yet found a catch all fix for this. Like
I said, I don't know that this helps, but it may tell you that the Cakewalk
program is your problem,not the printer. Hope it clears it up a bit.
They're suggestion was to save it as an ASCII file and then print it out that
way, but I don't think it translate well that way either. TTYL

of the tracks show the changes, both in manuscript as well as from playback -
