[Oh sure, and I'll bet there's a reason for this line! Right?!]
I have been trying to print graphics on a wide carriage printer. Does
anyone have an Epson wide carriage driver? I have tried using the generic
driver, the epson drivers, I tried changeing the preferences tabs and page
size. I've tried everything I could try on every program I could find that
prints. I guess I must need a printer driver specifically for a WIDE Epson.
Can anyone help??
Thanks,
Don White

SOrry. Under V1.3 you can select a paper size of WIDE_TRACTOR to go up to 13.6 inches (on the EpsonX or EpsonQ drivers).

(remember to save and reboot for it to work). He can't remember if he tried this so it might work, and then again? If that doesn't work, get out your favourite file editor (I use NewZap off of one of the Fish disks) go to the first sector of the Epson printer driver at byte 6C of that sector you will find 03C0 (960 dots across) and change it to 0660 (1632 dots across) you had better check this last value but that is what I worked it out to be, save it and if all goes well you should be up and printing. Hope this helps. Martin Scragg --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What, no funny signature?
