Hello, I'm trying to use Adobe Type Manager for Windows and am having a bit of a problem printing which perhaps someone can help me with. My configuration is: Hewlett Packard Vectra QS/16S (386SX at 16Mhz) 4MB memory VGA HP DOS v3.3 MS Windows 3.0a Word for Windows 1.1a Novell NetWare 3.10, capturing LPT2 to an HP LaserJet III with 5MB. I have Windows configured to print to LPT2.OS2 rather than LPT2 since otherwise I get many pages of garbage from the printer. When printing using the HP built in font (CG Times), it prints allright. When I create a test document with "Hello world" and format it for an ATM font at 48 point (say, Bookman), and print, it spools 2648 bytes to the queue and the stops. About a minute later it brings up a dialog telling me it can't print. Sometimes a page will come out with about half of the top of "Hello world" printed with some garbage overlaid. If I configure Windows to print to LPT2:, I get the usual page after page of garbage. If anyone has any ideas of what I could try, I'd appreciate it. I have contacted Adobe once and will try again if necc. but I thought I'd see if anyone else had this problem. Thanks in advance, Brendan

[...] Aaron Royd (Aaron.Roydhouse@comp.vuw.ac.nz) responded with the following suggestions: >- Windows should be installed for use under Netware It is. >- You should use LPT2: and not LPT2.OS2 I'm doing this so that I won't get page after page of garbage when printing to the LaserJet. I did try it though and my wasted paper problem also persists. >- The Banner page must be disabled for that queue It is along with timeout, notify user, etc... Also, I am using Byte stream and not text. >- You IPX.EXE and NET4.EXE should be of at least version 3.01d I'm using IPX v1.05EC and NET3 v3.01E. Also, since I posted, I downloaded the Supplemental Drivers Disk #5 from Compu$erve and am using The HP LJ III v3.61 driver. Problem persists. Interestingly enough, I have found that I CAN print to an Epson FX 1050 using ATM. Adobe Tech. Support is as confused as I am. I will check and see if perhaps my version of capture is at fault, maybe I'm using an old version which has some obscure bug, I dunno. Any thoughts would be appreciated and thanks to Aaron for his response. Brendan
