Dear listeners
 
I'd like to thank the 2 people who were so kind to answer my
question regarding writing directly to a Mac-Disk on a GS.
As I could read also from other discussions here, there's no

Dear listeners
 
I'd like to thank the 2 people who were so kind to answer my
question regarding writing directly to a Mac-Disk on a GS.
As I could read also from other discussions here, there's no
Mac FST coming yet. It would have been so nice.
 
Here I have another question to the listeners: Using a GS +
ParallelPro interface + NEC P6+ printer + GS/OS 5.0.4 +
AppleWorks GS + many fonts (all legal!) I can produce
nothing but the utmost horrible printouts. Printouts are
ridiculously bad, too large (yes, vertical reduction is ON),
with irregular lines in between; empty pages are added at
the end. I also tried Harmony/Epson.LQ.Har for a minute but
that is much much much worse. Any suggestions? The Nec is
Epson 800/1000 compatible, 24 pin.
 
Since one should try to do things in return I add 4 small,
but rather useful macros I concocted (I'm not a programmer
at all but you still might like them).
