I have a Fujitsu DL2400 after owning a DL3400. I have found both to be excellent value when used with the Amiga. I found only one problem with word perfect - Right aligned text would only right align the first line of the right aligned block. Apart from that no problems at all. Perhaps you could elaborate on other 'problems' you have in regard to this printer and WP. -- Paul C Gunther (Queensland University of Technology) Brisbane, Australia.

Re: Word Perfect and a Fujitsu DL2400
Word Perfect comes with a selection of sample files for testing printed output,
and the Fujitsu comes with a variety of different emulation modes that can be
set through its software. No matter which combination of emulation modes and
WP printer selections I used I have never been able to get all of the WP sample
files to print correctly. There is always at least one text style that doesn't
work like it is supposed to. It hasn't been a major problem, basically you
play with different settings until you find one that does what you want, and
once set up, there's never another problem (unless the backup clock fails in
your printer - which happened, but it was under warrantly and fixed in no time
flat :-)
