I'm using NB almost exclusively, except to edit the .kbd files. Why I'm having trouble doing that I haven't quite resolved. Still on V8, though I've paid for V9. New PC on the way and will install 9 in XP mode. Anne - any sense at all when the 32-bit version will be in beta?

Jordan,

Nota Bene uses Windows printing functions, and you should be able to print
from any printer. Printers with only USB connections are not a problem.
There have been a few problems with a few newer printers (and this is not
unique to NB), but in every case the problem has been resolved by using a
different printer driver. For details see www.notabene.com/printer_req.html.

Thanks to you, and to the others who have written, for your interest and
support.

Anne

Thanks for keeping us informed about this, Anne.

I've taken a look at this web page, though not (yet) the guided
tour, etc. Can you address a couple of things that for Xy
have become problem areas, unless one gets into extensive
workarounds: computers that have only USB connections, as most
do now, and latter day printer models ? I would be curious to
learn about your solutions for these, as I expect they are more
likely direct solutions rather than workarounds.
