I have an A2000 and an OkiData Microline 292 printer. Frankly, I'm disappointed at the mapping of screen colors to ink colors (pink is too orange, cyan is too blue, green is too dark, purple is too pink, etc.) in the standard printer driver. Are there any fixes to this driver anywhere? I've tried using the color correction settings to hopefully get a better reproduction of the screen colors, but it seems that the color correction actually creates a reduced-palette HAM picture on-the-fly as it prints. Why do I say this? Well, I tried printing a HAM picture with a bright green dragon in it. The original try yielded a dark forest green dragon in which detail was almost completely lost. So, I color-correct the green setting. What do I get? Red HAM fringes in the printout trailing the lighter green color. Those fringes are not there in the original, but show up in the color-corrected printout. Just about any HAM picture that I try while using color correction will produce HAM fringes on the printout that do not exist in the actual picture (another I recall is one in which a transition from black to red had a blue fringe in the middle). I am trying to print out these pictures for my thesis due in two days, and I am desperate. I've even tried going into Digi-Paint and attempting to touch up the colors, but there is no easy way to do this. Any help would be appreciated, ---Prem Subrahmanyam (prem@geomag.gly.fsu.edu)
