Quattro Pro v6.0 not printing graphs in XP

I have been using QP v6.0 for years with Win 98 without problems. Now with 
XP my graphs won't print on laser printers, but the same graph will print on 
an ink jet. Its not the printer, because I have a laser jet 5L and a new 
Brother laser and the graphs won't print on either printer. All I get is a 
blank sheet that is ejected. The spreadsheet part of the notebook will print 
fine. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Perhaps the Ctechs will correct me, but I don't think this will be
fixable.  Two problems I see:

1) That level of WPoffice was quite buggy.  6.1 fixed most of it.

2) That level of WPoffice was in transition from drivers that were part
   of WPoffice to drivers that were part of the OS.  Perhaps you can tell
   QP to switch to windows drivers, but QP that far back doesn't speak XP.

My suggestion would be to upgrade to at least QP9+sp4 or higher.

My reasoning for WPO9sp4 is that its the first version that is designed
to respect the new M$ disk layout for multiple users and the avoidance of
needing to open file/directory permissions too wide.

before switching to QP9 I would try QP8.  It works for me in XP and
compatability
issues with older spreadsheets is far less than with version 9
