I have been having trouble printing things out on the Apple laserwriter
from macwrite 5.0. It seems that what I have written on screen, comes out
different on paper. For instance when I printed a page that was composed
of this:
[14 point Venice]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[centered] Introduction
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[12 point Times]
This is the intro paragraph. Blah blah blah blah blah llllll llllll lllll
lllll kkkkk mmmmm nnnnnnnnnnn bb vvvv g f ffffffff yyyyyy ttttttt rrrr ee re
ppppppppp pp ii uuyyy gggggggg fffffff etc....
The output from the laserwriter was much different. The 14-point Venice
font area shown above printed out nicely. The word 'Introduction' was neatly
centered and the dashed lines reached all the way to the right margin. But
the 12-point Times font paragraph below that (even though it was neatly against
the left margin) was a good two inches from where the right margin should be.
This is what it looked like:
[14 point Venice]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[centered] Introduction
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[12 point Times]
This is the intro paragraph. Blah blah blah blah blah lllll
llll lllll kkkkk mmmm nnnnnnnnnnnn bb vvv g f ffffffff yyyy tttttt
kkkkkk gg ffff wwwwwwww qqqqqqq aaaaaaaa ssss etc...
What is the reason for this? Does it have to do with the font sizes? I
would imagine that the font size shouldn't screw up the output, or why have
the ability to use them! Could it be that the driver for the laserwriter
is old or out of date? Do I need to look at a better word processor to make
my output fit the page as it does on the screen?
Help answer my questions if you can. I am trying to write my resume' and
other important documents with this confusing word processor - laserwriter
pair. As an afterthought, could it be that older models or laserwriter I's
just normally have this problem or is it commen even to the top of the line
model?
