------------------
I just checked OS 10.1.3 and Apple Works 6.2.4 on my on my iBook with my 
two printers and they printed underlined text normally. The two printers 
are an HP 970 USB printer and an OKIDATA OL810e/PS (post script printer) 
connected to a Farallon iPrint adapter via ethernet network.

I think the problem is probably OSX and the printer. I read on the 
MacInTouch web site some posts about printer problems. I think the 
problems are mostly USB though. Here is the link.

What printer driver does the HP use under OSX? Is there a printer 
description for the HP 4050N PCL6? I linked my OKIDATA printer driver 
that is in system OS 9 with the OSX print center and the printer works 
surprisingly well in OSX.

Has your colleague tried printing with OS9 and the latest version of 
Apple Works? Does it print normally there?

Good luck, Jim
