Looking for a CGFont…
Message #183576
Does anyone out there know if there is a CGfont that is comparable to Ashwell (lots of curlicues, and enclosed in a box). I use ashwell for the first letters of the title of a newsletter that I put together. Unfortunately, when I print it out in postscript, it doesn't…
Actually, I'm not the right person on this subject matter, since I've been having problems getting printer drivers to work with my new HP4mp. There are several people in this SIG who know a lot about printer drivers–hopefully they'll see your message to me. If no one answers, repost it,…
Kelly– See my message to Dale. I know that you and I have corresponded. You're the one who developed the driver for the hp4, right? Gracia Littauer sent me email with your settings–I tried them, and still it didn't work. But, I can get it to print, so I'm not…
Dale– I have a feeling that we've had this same discussion before. My guess is that my problem is a combination of my running the original operating system (tried upgrading too late–none to be found when I checked in April), and maybe just my particular configuration of hard drive and…
#gpfax printing
Message #158114
Dale– Dementia is not a pretty sight. I have a feeling, now, that we've had this conversation before about printer drivers for the HP 4 MP. You had mentioned that would do, to run my 4 mp non postscript. What I realized after loading the laser jet printer driver on…
gpfax printing?
Message #157404
You're right. I did have a laser jet driver, which I've just loaded into my hard drive. Thanks for reminding me. Pat
gpfax printing?
Message #157345
Thanks for the info. I'll check it out.
gpfax printing?
Message #157344
I'll have to go back to my original system disks and look. I'm sure that you're right and that there's a driver there (and I didn't think to look).
Amiga/Mac Communications
Message #157343
I don't think anyone of us here would continue with computers if we were the types that gave up trying ;^)
T. Rex– Got your message fine. My only problem on CI$ was that I was connecting at 1200 baud (that now seems to be correcting). Hopefully that's, in part, what was causing my problem with connecting directly with a mac (something that I was finally able to do using my…
Dale– What's the phone number for Expert Systems? Vis a vis the printer drivers, I have been printing in non-PS mode, but I just like the way it looks from PS. I've ended up having to use a deskjet printer driver (which is probably slower) because all of the laserjet…
Joe– Actually, I never had problems connecting with CI$–I just wasn't paying any attention, and didn't realize that I wasn't connecting at 2400 (which is the max for my modem, except when it's in fax mode). The big problem was connecting with a Mac. I managed connecting fine (after too…
Dale– Saw your message about GPFax. My question doesn't have to do with GPFax, but with the PS printer driver. Do you know of any PS printer drivers that work with a 1.3 operating system? I also have the HP 4mp (which I bought after being exhorted on by folks…
Alex– I think your suggestion worked! At least visually, it seems as if the screens are scrolling back considereably faster. The real test will be the next time I download something from the SIG. Between timing how long it takes to download and checking out what the CI$ connect charges…
Alex– thanks for the information. I'll give it a try when I'm back home at my computer. I'll let you know if it worked. Pat
#Amiga/Mac Communications
Message #155931
Well, even though I got no responses I thought I would report in on my success. I discovered that my Supra fax modem was (for some unknown reason) communicating with my friends Mac at 1200, even though we both had set up our respective computers at 2400. I then checked…
#Amiga/Mac communication
Message #155743
I have been trying to connect via modem to a friend's macintosh (so that he can upload into my computer some photographs he digitized for me for a newsletter that I put together quarterly). Anyway, we have been having a very difficult time of it. I use AT3. Earlier in…
HP 4 Series Printers
Message #139807
Joe– Thanks for the hint on PPage. I haven't had a chance to play with Ppage to check it out. I'm leaving for Miami tomorrow to help my father with his new 486. Once I get back, I'll check the density settings. Pat
#HP 4 Series Printers
Message #139581
Kelly– Gracia sent me your settings. Thanks to you both. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work. I have always had problems getting GPFax to interface with PPage. I upgraded (was it to 2.4?) using upgrade programs that were available either here in CIS or on Supra's bulletin board (can't remember which).…
HP 4 Series Printers
Message #139580
Donovan– I really am enjoying my HP 4MP printer. Once I get everything ironed out vis a vis the drivers, things will be great. Fortunately, I currently need it to print out from Ppage. I had never realized how fast PostScript was. All those hours and hours that I spent…
Joe Kelly told me about his printer driver. I tried it, but it didnt's work with Ppage (which I wouldn't use anyway, since I've finally discovered Postscript–much to my delight) or with GPFax (but the deskjet driver does work????). I assume that it's in part because I'm still using 1.3.…
Kelly– Thanks for all the info on the HP contact numbers. If you scanned some of the other messages, you may have seen that I decided to take the plunge and buy the 4MP. I'm really pleased with it–particularly the postscript side–makes DTP printing a breeze!!! I downloaded your driver.…
Mike– Can one fall in love with a printer? I decided to go ahead and buy the 4MP. I'm sure that I did it because I'm suffering from a cold and virus, so I wasn't thinking straight ($1319 + tax for home, non-business use is steep). Well, my search for…
Dale– Well, Y'all convinced me. I went ahead and bought the 4MP. Given my antiquated equipment, it's a good thing (instead of buying the 4P), since I haven't been able to find a driver to run the PCL5 side (in wordperfect, the HP Laser driver does work, but at 300…
I'm leaning towards the 4P–which I understand can be upgraded to PS. Since this is for personal use (with some minor amount of DTP for a boat club that I'm a member of), I think I'll stick to the cheaper printer. Are there printer drivers available for the Amiga? I…
????? What's that? I can pick up the 4ppm, 600 dpi printer for around $950 where I live. Sounds better than $1300! I currently have a DeskJet plus, which I've been overall very pleased with (especially since they changed the inks and they don't run as easily when a paper…
On the 4MP how do you switch between postscript and 600 dpi non PS? Since the printer is mainly for my personal use (other than I do a quarterly 8-16 page newsletter and I'm currently putting together a 400+ name telephone directory) I think I'll aim for the 4P (that's…
#HP 4 Series Printers
Message #137645
Do I have this right–the 4P is rated at 4ppm, while the 4M is at 8? Is the 4MP the one with the postscript capability and 4ppm? My problem is that when I went to my local computer superstore, all the hired help was either busy or disinterested, and there…
#HP 4 Series Printers
Message #136871
Has anyone out there looked at the Hewlett Packard 4 series printers? I currently have a DeskJet Plus, and am thinking of upgrading. I do some desktop publishing and thought that it would be advantageous to go either the 600dpi or post script route. Pat
Jeff– As far as I know, Burried Treasure is still open. The one that closed was Discovery (I live in Northern VA). Actually, it may be closer to go to Burried Treasure than to the store in Woodbridge, given how bad the traffic is in northern VA. I guess it's…
Amiga stores in DC area
Message #135434
Jim– The store that closed was Discovery. When it closed, I don't know. I do know that they are listed in the 1994 phone book, but they aren't at the mall, and their phone is disconnected. The one in the Rockville area is Buried Treasure. I believe that they are…
Amiga stores in DC area
Message #134234
About 1 1/2 weeks ago I went to the computer store that I frequent from time to time–I hadn't been there in quite a while. Well, it's closed it's doors. Does anyone out there know what stores in the Washington, DC area sell Amiga software/hardware? Pat
Brian– Thanks for the information on PCTools and Disksalv. If the latter doesn't work, I'll check out the former. One of my problems, in gneral, is that I have 1.3 running. Got to make a decision–do upgrades (e.g., operating system, bigger hard drive, more ram, upgraded chips), or buy another…
Christopher– I'll be checking Disksalv, after I finish uploading my messages. I appreciate your help. Pat
Michael– Thanks for the information. I had done a search for undelete, but found nothing. That's why I asked on the message section. I think the best thing will probably be to buy PCTools (which someone else suggested), or check out disksalv. Pat
#LZH help
Message #131650
Michael– Thank you for the explanation. Another question, which I asked Christopher Tomie (who had also responded), is there an undelete (file) available? Pat
#LZH help
Message #131649
Christopher– I now have the [for me] updated lha file in my c: directory. Now I know why the difference. Thanks. I have a different question now. Is there a utility available to undelete files? I used that as a keyword while browsing through the library, and had no success.…
LZH help
Message #131648
Chris– My main problem was that I didn't realize that lha worked on lzh files. Now I know–and have had no problems. Thanks! Pat
Michael–so the answer is that I can use lha to unlzh an lzh file? I had just downloaded the lha138.run file, since the lha file I had was a tad dated (got an error message when I used it). Why are different extensions used, if the same decruncher can be…
#LZH help
Message #130695
It's been a while since I've cruised extensively through CIS (tends to get awfully expensive). Anyway, I've downloaded a couple of .LZH files, and I can't remember how to decrunch them? I've searched for an LZH decruncher–ran across LZ.LZH. How do I decrunch it? I tried runing and executing an…
C: COM
Message #98986
Hi all! I haven't been on in 3 weeks, but I got too busy. The last time I was on, I asked if there was a replacement set of c: programs, which will let me do wildcard searches (I'm leaving this in the fax section, since I ended up zapping…
I got that problem fixed. About 3 years or so I go, I replaced the c: commands with a different set of commands. It turns out that they were the culprits behind the pure bit not set warning. I also had to reload the ram drivers, etc. Now I get…
I do think that you are probably right that the problem is with Ppage, since printing faxes works with Wordperfect. When I select the dot matric print option, the gpfax printer driver is the one that is indicated in the options box. If I don't have gpfax loaded in (iconified,…
Can't remember if I'd discovered this when I left the message, but I did finally find the GPfax "orange" requester that said that a fax was being printed, behind the Ppage screen. But I'm still "shooting" blanks, so to speak. I'm sure the color really isn't of importance. Fortunately, I'm…
Gary– I've gone into more detail in my message to Ron, but one thing in your message that's at odds when I can get GPFax to "print" a fax (in word- perfect, not Ppage)–the message box I get is orange, not blue. Have you changed your workbench colors?
Ron– When I do a dir Ram: in cli, I have both the env and t drawers (which if I didn't have the t, wordperfect probably wouldn't work, since I think that the print files go in t–anyway). I don't have the ram: disk icon on workbench. I think I…
Well, it turns out that they fixed up their install routine this time, because although it incorrectly read DH0: for my fonts (and told me that I didn't have enough space), the install program con- tinued what it was supposed to do. I followed up afterwards and updated the regular…
Now I know what I'll be doing part of this weekend–looking for the genie disks, and loading it in (which is a pain, since I don't have my fonts in DH0: and Gold Disk insists on never giving the option during install to specify a different place for fonts:. So,…
(Without looking back at my previous message), I think I wrote that I had version 2.1, and wondered which version was the genie version. I ordered that upgrade, but wasn't able to install it since I didn't have ARexx. I now have Arexx, so I just have to find the…
Joe– Thank you! The instructions that I got from the SUpra BBS didn't include that bit of information. I did scan the manual that came (manuals, I should say) with the modem and software, but I usually don't spend much time with manuals–so maybe I missed it. PAW
