- I, too, had no trouble with Macintax for my '91 returns. So we ordered it again
- for '92. But the headstart version wouldn't print on my Deskwriter with the
- (current and correct) driver; I had to re-install an older driver (and I'm glad
- I kept a copy around!) Also we tried to read in last year's return as a basis
- for starting this year's, and it failed. (Repeatedly; we tried a variety of
- options, and gave the program huge amounts of memory, with no success. Our
- return was not particularly large or complex, either.) The problem with the
- newer Deskwriter drivers was at least documented; but the ability to read in
- last year's files was an advertised feature supposed to be present even in the
- headstart version. We concluded that it can't print and it can't read its own
- files. We will be asking for a full refund and trying TaxCut instead this year.
