They send them direct to the Feds and the State of Maryland but offer me the opportunity to view them on line and print them out for my files. But these functions on their system are inoperable unless my web browser can use Adobe Acrobat Reader. I finally found a free copy of AAR 7 that was in source form which I compiled and somehow Firefox could employ. The problem was solved. They absolutely would not just send me the pdf files. Security was their rationale. The Cups system that comes with Slack 14.1 won't work with my printer (though it will print test pages, go figure) so I booted Knoppix 7.6 and printed the pages one at a time. But that is another story. Cups works for others and prior versions (like on Knoppix) work for me.. My taxes are filed and I have paper copies. Next year I may just get the paper forms and fill them out manually. -- John Culleton Wexfordpress Book design and indexing.
