AMigavision Output
Message #25600
Is anyone using Amigavision with output to a laser printer? I have encountered a problem with the output ICON giving a PAGEFEED after every ICON is used. I have developed a work-around, but I need to know if there is a better solution as my work-around requires 6 files to…
I am getting a TYMES but not a TIMES. It isn't the same font either. I have [A a lot of fonts and the stuff isn't there!
Mike, I tried what you said.. here is the way I have my stuff configed: hd0:pagestream/psfonts – this has ALL the fontfiles and plugin.typebuckets, etc in it in various directories. I ADD the path for the PSFONTS drawer by clicking on the dir and I get the whole line above.…
I got a 2 meg board with one meg installed. It was a piece of cake to install! It will be easy to upgrade whenever a need arises. It has already m ade a big diff in what I can create with PgS!!
font help
Message #48558
I seem to be unable to get PgS to recognise the CS fonts! I get everything else, but not the CS fonts. Mike are you out there???? I have recopied all of the files over and replaced the fontsequiv… etc. I removed all fonts from the manager and updated with…
John, I can't imagine why the diff either, but what I did was print to a t t or rather a disk file and then copy that to par: . I assume that inspite of the fact that I had fully loaded pages in a downloa d font, the stuff…
I bought one locally for a total out the door of $629. I like it so far and it does need an upgrade in memory sometimes. Where did you get your upgrade, how much and did you install it yourself? Thanks for the info!
I looked at the Epson and it seemed ok but the price was a little more. You say Postscript… Are you talking aboutan upgrade cartridge? If so . have you seen a price?
Thanks for the note John. I have checked on the memory and even hooked one to my Amiga. I have PageStream2.2 and it works fine with the 512k. I sent file to disk first to see what size I was dealing with and it came up nearly 1.5 megs… It…
#Okidata OL400
Message #47586
Anyone out there tried using the Okidata OL400 laser with an Amiga yet? I am seriously looking at one and any advice would be good. I tried to get a HP Deskjet but they are as scarce as hen's teeth right now. I can get the OL400 for $629.00 here.…
[A I was actually interested in the board from down under, but since you have ordered the Rejuvenator, what price for all you ordered, if you don't mind my asking?
Keith, perhaps you can share with us all that you know about that board?
The vote's not in on that yet. I haven't seen any improvement in the output quality or time yet, but I am not sure if I have it set up correctly yet. I am going to leave a message here asking for info.. read them and we will learn together!…
I haven't a real need at this point for multiple copies but it sounds as if that would be an improvement over PgS! I am trying to use Post1.6 and I have it outputting at last. Had to go into Preferences and set up my Graphic2 to get the thing…
Yeah, you have my attention…. I hope it is the truth. I really like a lot of the things that PageStream does over ProPage2.1 ( I have both), but the speed is one thing that I definitely don't like. I remember seeing you guys at Los Angeles in the first…
Thanks for the tip on CMD! I never used that but it sounds as if I need to get an acquaintance going. I will check it out and see for myself. Fastjet is a great time saver. It does cut the printer time by about 46% or so. If the…
Thats pretty soon as in RSN? I hope the words that I have been reading about the speed being increased in 2.2 are correct. I like the product, but you do have a little wait time every time the screen has to be redrawn. I assist my friend who makes…
I have borrowed an earlier model and it turns out a very good print quality. The compressing of the files is an interesting feature. I found a file called fastjet.lzh and it compresses the output of PgStream and makes the print time a lot shorter.. too bad such compression isn't…
I have PPAGE 2.0 and PageStream 2.1 and I have been using a borrowed Deskjet ( the old version) and it seems to do very well through both softwares. I am in the process of trying to buy a Deskjet 500, but it seems that HP under estimated the demand…
I have been on your board and I saw a message asking what the problem was about the new driver.. it has been d/led a number of times and no comments were forthcoming.. I dunno.. I couldn't find it either.
Thanks, I will give it a try!
Thanks Steve. I am getting a lot of good advice on both SaxonScript and DJHe lper. Sure is nice to be able to ask these questions and get good quality replies overnight! Try that with some tech support lines sometime! I think that I will be getting a DJ from…
I have ConMan installed and have 2 megs of fast ram. I think that my trouble may be in the fonts area. I didn't quite understand that section of the DOCS. I can get something printed to my screen but it is unreadable. I never got any output before my…
That will help a great deal… I have just gotten an oportunity to try one out for myself. It is one of the earlier models, but it should give me some answers. Sounds like DJHelper is an excellent asset to have! Thanks ** JOE **
Thanks for the info… BTW I believe that SL has a new driver available for the regular DJ.. what is the file called? Thanks ** JOE **
Is the program SaxonScript available generally or is it something that comes with Saxon Publisher? I have seen a few references to DJhelper… does it allow you to productively use the DJ or do things get really slow? If it does allow you to use download PS fonts, then are…
Of course that is a good point, but I guess that I am asking more about just HOW MUCH difference is there in the two? I saw the Deskjet when it first came out and there wasn't much support for it from the Amiga world and consequently it looked poor.…
By saying CERTAIN fonts, what exactly do you mean? I have Pagestream 2.1 and all that comes with it and their own font PLUS PAK That has a lot of other fonts, plus most of the Adobe type 1's that are available here. Most of them look very good off…
#HP Deskjet advice
Message #43712
I am seeking help and advice on my next printer purchase. My 24 pin just bit the big one. I am looking into cheap lasers and the HP Deskjet. I do DTP and I want something that will give a crisp, clean look. It does not have to be PostScript…
Star NX2400 driver
Message #17119
Thanks, I will give that a try. I sure hope it does some good! I am using the printer for DTP proofs and it leaves a bit to be desired. Thanks again! ** JOE **
Star NX2400 driver
Message #15991
I am looking for a 360×360 printer driver for my Star Micronics nx2400. I just tried out the latest version for EpsonQ printers, but I get strange results ( too many line feeds during a print). Anyone have any knowledge of this printer and do you have any suggestions???
#Modula2 help
Message #132800
I'm having a few 'BASIC' problems with Modula 2 (I'm using TDI) and would appreciate a bit of help. I'm new to the language and I'm sure my problem is old hat to most of you. Here goes … I bought PowerWindows2 and it works like a champ. I can…
