Freehand MX and Windows Vista????

[indyrebel]

New to the forums,
I have been using Freehand since it first came out and this past week I
switched over to Windows Vista.
I'm running Freehand MX and it works really great except for PRINTING!!!! I've
tried everything I can think of, I even downloaded new print drivers(Vista
update) for my HP LaserJet 5200. I can't get any printer to work.
The error reads: Could not complete your request because read or write access
has been denied, then the printer will print off an error sheet: Postscript
error: syntaxerror Offending Command.
Oh, I'm also trying to print through our network.
If anyone has a simple fix to this problem PLEASE HELP!!!!!
I'm trying to avoid switching to Illustrator CS4 which I also have and it runs
great on Vista, printing works great too!

Thanks,
Indyrebel

Unfortunately, this is Adobe's official response to FHMX on Vista:
[b]Does Adobe plan to provide an update to FreeHand MX that will support
Microsoft Windows Vista?[/b]
[i] Adobe has no plans to deliver a FreeHand MX release that supports
Microsoft? Windows? Vista?.[/i]

CS4 Illustrator will open your FH file(s) however. You can print from there.
(Personally, I use FHMX for ALL my illustration work and switch to CS3 for
converting files or for printers needing native AI files from FH.)

Thank you Maeric!
That helps!
I'll look for the forum and add my "yes" vote.
