I have two printer drivers for my Canon BJ-10 printer but I'm
having some difficulty. Both drivers when using Excellence 2.0 print
out funky when printing in draft/text mode:
The first page printed is fine. The second page gets a HUGE
border on the top now causing the printer to not print out the rest of
the second page so it dumps it on the third page with a LARGE space in-
between the end of the second page and the begginning of the third page.
By the end of a 5 page print, this "gap" has reached the middle of the printed
page and has to make use of a sixth page to make up for all the stuff not
printed on the fifth page. Get it?
I wondering if it has to do with my printer (what DIP's do I set?)
or my software (prefs?, the Excellence program?)
or the driver programs (I have the original CBM MPS_1000 driver and
Faust's Canon.020 driver.)
or even my computer (an Amiga 3000).
Can anyone help me?

Get it? Sounds like you have selected a wrong page length. So check your DIP switches, preference and excellence setting for this...

Canon.020 is not a hacked up MPS_1000... also I have an A3000... So this is not where you sould search the cause... I don't know Excellence because I use TeX to do my writing ;-), but I got different reports of problems with excellence in draft/text mode. For instance: changing fonts is not accepted on the first dump... These problems are not caused by my drivers which support such switching! Seems excellence does something really nasty... So call those people from excellence! Anybody else had this bad experience? ---- Wolf Faust cbmvax!cbmehq!cbmger!venus!wfaust Tel: +(49)69-5486556 FIDO: 2:243/43.5
