It printed, but on a different network printer that was not near me. Obviously, those who used usually the printer were trying to see who's printing over and over again the same thing... :( Nobody knows who or why changed those settings. :(

>Try to load as much as possible from what is taking base memory into upper memory. Although there are drivers and network software that cannot run into upper memory, usually you can free some. Also usually, (especially on computers with Win95) nobody cares to fine tune all those DOS drivers to free as much low memory as possible (because it's not so important in Win95). So, there is some space to try. :) I hope this will solve the problem.

Ranges from 16 Meg to 32 Meg. The 16Meg machines are the ones which will be running this particular set of forms for a 12-hour day 6 days a week. It's got to be foolproof.
