[comp.sys.apple] Print Shop Problems

Subject: Print Shop problems 
 
I'm having some problems using Print Shop and Print Shop Companion, and I was 
hoping that some of you out there might have some idea what the problem is... 
 
I can create something using the Print Shop or the Companion, and everything 
goes fine until I try to print it out on my printer, and then all I can get is

gibberish. I have tried to configure Print Shop to my setup (Apple //e, 2 disk
drives, Epson LQ-800 [like a RX, FX, or MX series], and a Star Micronics 
Grafstar parallel printer card), but it doesn't seem to make any difference.  
I've double-checked the DIP switches on my parallel card, and on the printer, 
and I can't find anything wrong there.  I've even tried other settings in the 
Print Shop configuration, without any luck. 
 
If anyone has any ideas whatsoever, my thanks in advance for your help!

Now that you mention it, I've never been able to make a backup of the disks
following their instructions. All I get is a flash of screen and it's
bypassed. If anyone has experienced this, please assist in this.
