This article was previously published under Q142515 SYMPTOMS
When you try to print Fish Cards, the Divers License, and Certificates
of Completion to a Canon Bubble Jet 660C or 610 printer from Magic School
Bus Explores the Ocean (MSB Ocean), they never print.
This behavior may also occur in MSB Explores the Human Body and MSB
Explores Inside the Earth.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Canon driver consumes a large amount of
memory. This contributes to an insufficiency of memory when you try to
print the graphic.
RESOLUTION
Epson LQ printer drivers do not consume memory the way the Canon driver
does. To resolve the printing problems, install the Epson LQ 860 or LQ 2550
driver to use with your Canon printer.
To install the driver, use the instructions below for your version of
Windows:
Windows 95/98- Click Start, point to Settings, and then click
Printers.
- With your right mouse button, click the Bubble Jet 660C, and
then click Properties.
- Click the Details tab.
- Click New Driver. A warning appears that says if you change
the printer driver, the changes are saved. Click Yes.
- In the list of Manufacturers click Epson. Then, from the list of Models, click LQ 860 or LQ 2550.
MSB Ocean should now print successfully.
NOTE: This problem may also be corrected by disabling Print Spooling for the Canon BJC 600 or 610 printer driver. The print spooling option is found on the Details tab of the Printer Properties. For more information about print spooling, please see your printer documentation.
Windows 3.x- In Program Manager, double click the Control Panel,
usually located in the Main program group.
- Double-click Printers.
- Click Add.
- Select the Epson LQ 860 or LQ 2550, and click
Install.
- Insert the appropriate Windows setup disk when you are prompted, and
press ENTER.
- Make sure the port is set to the same port as the Canon
Printer.
- Make sure the Epson driver is selected, and then click Set
As Default.
MSB Ocean should now print successfully.
