[comp.sys.cbm] =================>GEOS HELP<================

I own Geos 128 v1.0 (will be upgrading soon). I tried to make a certificate
using GeoPaint. I made a border around the perimiter of the document on the
screen. Yet, when I went to print it out on my MPS-1000 I found that the entire
document couldn't fit on the paper (too wide). I have the printer driver for
the MPS-1000 set by default so its not like Im using the wrong parameters.
Any advice you could give me on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, if you havent done so already, please read my previous post called:
               REWARD FOR LOST SOFTWARE!
                          Thank you for your time and help!

Your problem is that your printer is probably printing graphics at 60dpi.  GEOS
drivers normally expect resolution of at least 80dpi.  Any excess is trimmed off the
right edge of your document.  One solution is to check Q-link for custom drivers
that emulate 80+ dpi (I got a great one for my Gemini II to fix the same problem), 
or pick up a copy of the GEOS Programmers' Guide and write one yourself.  If neither
route gets results, E-mail a GEOS guru on Q-link and maybe they'll have mercy and
cobble up one for you.

Why would Apple sue over GEM, and not even bat an eye at GEOS?
