    Sometime in the last two weeks, Google Drive has stopped respoding when loading or creating new sheets. Also, when I try to print to my Cloud connected printer, I can mash the "Print" button all day long and it never responds.

    Did Google bork things up again?

    Fixes?

    Still working here - just opened an existing, and created a new spreadheet to check.
    Haven't got a cloud-connected printer to check with I'm afraid.

    Currently spoofing as Odyssey, adblock is enabled, no special settings in prefs that I imagine could affect Google Drive.

    Is this what it's called when you have Odyssey report itself as Odyssey? ;-)

    Clarity over precision. "Spoofing is disabled, such that Odyssey's default user agent string is returned" didn't have the same ring to it. :-)

    (On occasion, I've even been known to end a sentence with a preposition to avoid clunky language. :-o )

    I believe everybody who knows the concept of user agent spoofing understands "spoofing disabled" or "no spoofing". And who doesn't know this concept wouldn't understand "spoofing as Odyssey" either, I think.
    I just find it bizarre spoofing something as what it genuinely is. And I really thought for a moment you must be using a different browser, which left me wondering about the relevance :-)

    I ended up deleting the cookies from OWB and trying again. Older sheets and printing functionality has returned. It seems the sheets created while trying to use the "New" Google Sheets are currently incompatible with OWB. Luckily, I switched it off after only creating a couple of them!
