[comp.sys.amiga] Pagesetter printing problems / drivers

hrlaser@pnet02.CTS.COM (Harv Laser) (06/27/87)

I'm using a custom-built Epson JX-80 driver with Pagesetter and get
beautiful results. No white lines, no squashed lines, even Topaz looks
good. 

The trick is - you don't use Pagesetter itself for your printouts. You use
Gold Disk's accessory program called "PagePrint" instead.

Gold Disk has admitted that the printout routines in the main Pagesetter
program are messed up and they themselves recommend PagePrint for 
printing.

Further - you MUST have your preferences set for "black & white", not
grey scale or color. This is why you get the "preferences setting is
wrong" (or whatever it says) message. 

Gold Disk has released their PagePrint and PageIFF programs to be
freely distributable. They should be available in local User group Disks,
on BBS's,  they're on pay-networks such as PeopleLink, and probably on
Fish and Amicus disks as well.
