QUESTION: Does anyone out there have an OKI 192+ driver that may work with NEWSMASTER? I have a OKIDATA 192+ printer. I attempt to use NEWSMASTER by UNISON to create a Cub Scout newsletter, but the fonts are not readable (or at least acceptable). The letters run into each other leaving no white space. This is particularly evident on the 8 - 12 point fonts, but does appear to a lesser degree on the larger fonts. I end up using a WP to type the body and only use NEWSMASTER for headlines and artwork. This is a pain. I have called UNISON several times over the past 4 months. After sending in my original floppies they updated them with a OKI 292 driver and instructed me to use it. I can not tell if the spacing is any better because it keeps putting my 192+ into 8 line per inch mode, thus over- writing part of each graphic line. I give up with UNISON. If I still had my receipt I would push to get my money back. ANOTHER RELATED QUESTION: Can I use PRINT SHOP graphics with NEWMASTER and vice verse? I have tried changing file names, etc., but I have been unsuccesful. NEWSMASTER does not come with a graphic editor like PRINTSHOP (or like UNISON's PRINTMASTER). I would wile to be able to pull out art work from either PRINTSHOP or NEWSMASTER into PRINTSHOP's editor to create my own art work, then allow NEWMASTER to use it. The easy solution would be to go buy PRINTMASTER, but I refuse to give UNISON any more money. Especially since I already have PRINTSHOP. Thanks in Advance Karl Parks ihnp4!ablnc!kep
