printer failure with leopard using word 2004 print to Samsung Laserprinter

[gregoire]

Leopard prints text and iphoto and web pages but will not print word
documents the only clue is a limited border response in preview but
the document doesn't show or print but the printer connectivity is
secure

The first step for any printing issues to to see whether there is a printer
driver update available from the mfr's web site. This is especially true
having upgraded to a totally different version of Mac OS - even though
*some* programs may continue to print okay. The OS offers several distinct
print services & those combined with the driver are what actually provide
the print preview & the printing, not the program. It only calls for the
required services.
