Is it possible to print .BMP files, or .GIF files, or any files, for that matter, in color from Windows 3? I've got a Citizen GSX-140 w/ the color option, so I've tried setting it up as an Epson LQ-2500/2550 w/ the color box clicked on, and as an IBM color printer. When I go to print a color .BMP from Paintbrush, it just prints it out in B/W. I rather like this printer, and it would be a pity if it wasn't possible to print anything in color from Windows. (Which should be untrue, as they do include color printer drivers...) Thanks much... Mark -- | Albert Einstein got his name after he got| Mark D.

[stuff deleted about can't print color .BMPs in Paintbrush to Epson] Paintbrush 3.0 can only print color on printers that support DIBs. The only ones I know of that fall in this category are the PostScript printer and the HP DeskJet (or whatever their ink jet color printer is called.) If you can get an updated driver from your printer vendor that supports DIBs you'll be in business. Ken Sykes Disclaimer: The above opinions are solely my own.
