Hey guys,
ran into a dead end with this old issue of Inside Mac Games. It came in DocMaker format. I want to print it out. However, upon clicking on the "print" command in the menu bar, it just issues a "bing" sound (as if an error) and nothing ever happens. No dialog window. No feedback as to what is wrong. I do have a postscript printer and I am successfully printing from this machine. My config: eMac 700 Mhz, OS 9.2.2, 1 GB RAM
I wonder if there is some kind of "printing protection" on this DocMaker file? What else could cause the problem?
Like I said, I can print Word documents just fine.
Any helpful ideas / suggestions really appreciated!

Can you “select-copy-paste” into another program?
Maybe TeachText, TextEdit, Word, etcetera?
Or screen capture, crop and then print?
Off-the-cuff, from-the-hip possibilities without digging
up the old DocMaker program here. Good luck.
Anyone else care to assist?

Fury, unfortunately I cannot select-copy-paste it somewhere else. Screencapture would be possible, but it gets a bit tedious after 20+ pages :)
Clearly, there must be a way to print it out. I can't be the first one with this problem. :-X

I also wonder about an install/re-install from:
http://www.mac.org/utilities/docmaker/
How many years ago was that? ???

DOCMaker 4.8.3 is less than half a meg, and attached.
I didn't see the original post, so not sure if this is what is wanted. Hope it helps.
