Greetings y'all! I have a C.Itoh Riteman 15 printer connected to my A2000. The printer driver for the CBM1250 (EpsonX) seems to make it work fairly well, but there are still some small problems. Printing a draft for NLQ rendition of text from ProWrite 2.5 will occasionally skip a line, and often add two spaces between words. It looks a little like the thing is trying to force proportional spacing, but the left-justified text is still properly ragged on the right. This problem finally became worth looking into last night because my daughter has finally decided to use the computer to do some of her school papers. Unfortunately, the blank line and odd spacing is not the best image to turn in to a critical teacher! I am wondering if someone has any thoughts on why these problems are appearing. I have a copy of Word Perfect V4.? that I'm going to try, along with some other things. However, I'm starting my quest for perfection here. Any ideas? Preferences information? Different driver? Weird set-ups in the word processor? Thanks, everyone. Now back to work! ------- Keith Ellsworth Editor Public Broadcasting Service -- TV Worth Watching and Worth Paying For!

I wrote a printer driver for the Citoh ProWriter and tried to figure out what ProWrite was attempting to do with NLQ mode since it didn't work with my driver either. Well, I didn't spend much time on it and thus it never made sense to me. I suppose it would help to find out just what ProWrite is trying to do here. I have tried NLQ mode on 5 different printers/drivers, and have yet to see it behave differently from what you have described. Can anyone enlighten me on this situation? Please. If I ever figure out how to get Manx 5.0d to compile a printer driver in a straightforward manner, I would like to get this working.
