Sandy,

I had similar problems after I upgraded to a newer HP printer and I
wanted to upgrade the printer driver as well. Perhaps the problem is in
your installation of the driver. I am told that you need a separate
printer object for each driver. Go to the templates folder and drag out
a new printer object for your HP 1200 and place it in the "Printers"
folder, which resides in the "Connections" folder on the desktop.

Next, follow the Warp instructions for installing the driver into the
new printer object. Use the Assistance Center instructions. Basically,
you have to select a printer object that will not have the new driver
(like the FAX printer object). Then, you have to reboot your system.
Then, install the driver into the new printer object. To do so, go to
the properties notebook, select the printer driver tab, and right mouse
click on the ion for the new printer object (notice that icons for all
of your printe objects are shown here in the printer driver tab of the
notebook). Select "install, new driver". Navigate to the directory where
you have the new driver, then install it. Refer to Warp's instructions
instead of mine, but that's basically it.

Finally, after you have installed the driver, select that printer object
in the printer driver tab of the notebook. Select it by single left
mouse clicking on it. That driver should now be available for Describe
and everything else.

Hope that helps. If not, try talking to Randell Flint about it. He's
pretty good. He helped me.
