[comp.windows.ms] Printing Ami documents

neil@ms.uky.edu (Neil Greene) (03/25/91)

I have a document that was created and edited in Ami under a postscript
printer.  We have recently added an epson 2500 printer to the network and
would like to also print jobs here.  Although, printing from windows and from
NEWLY created ami documents works fine, the document that was created earlier
only prints garbage to the printer.

I have choosen printer-setup from the file menu and checked about everywhere
possible for a software conflict, could there be something needing to be set
on the printer?

.  Ami seems to fine-tune the font dimensions for the printer you intend to
use. I found that after formatting a document for a Panasonic KX-P1124 via
the LQ2500 driver, when I wanted a PostScript version I had to adjust the
margin settings slightly, otherwise the choice of line-breaks, etc. was
different. I don't know if this is the problem reported in the original
posting, but it might have some bearing on it.
