- What happens when you take the TuneUp Extension out; does the problem go
- away? I suspect that this is merely a coincidence. Check to be sure that
- the printer driver and/or the folder in which it resides are unlocked ('Get
- Info' on the item and be sure the 'Locked' checkbox is unchecked). The
- system needs to be able to write to the driver and create a temporary spool
- file for printing. If it can't do either, you'll get an error.
