My coworker is having problems with ClickBook 2000. He sent off a letter to
their customer support, but wondered if perhaps someone else on the list
might have had this same problem and resolved it.
Here's the story:
I'm trying to configure my printer to print with ClickBook 2000, but I can't
seem to get it right. When I installed the trial version, I actually got the
printer set up properly, but when I installed the registered version, I lost
this setup.
When I start the ClickBook 2000 Printer Setup utility, CB asks me for the
type of printer. When I select it, there's a dialog box that appears for a
nanosecond and disappears. Then there's another dialog box that says CB has
been
set up for my printer. However, this is not the case.
I know what the disappearing dialog box is stating because when I installed
the trial version, it didn't disappear instantly. It says I need to
configure my printer properties for metaspooling (or something like that).
Then it's supposed to open a dialog box that allows me to enable this
property.
However, these two dialog boxes are not appearing when I try to install the
registered version, and therefore, I can't configure my printer. I've
uninstalled CB 2000 and re-installed it several times, but it still doesn't
work.
Anybody seen this problem before and resolved it? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Cheers!
