Gracia, You sound frustrated! As you should have read by now, postscript printing with ProPage doesn't use any printer drivers, since you are going directly to the printer via PAR:, not PRT:. I have never used the "download" program. I let ProPage download any fonts that need to be downloaded when printing. (wish final copy II could do this) It takes very little time to download a font. Haven't played much with downloaded fonts, yet. Just a couple of the recent Star Trek font uploads. It's hard to decide what fonts to download since I don't know what they all look like. ProPage 4.0 is supposed to run much better under 3.0 OS. In the PostScript print requestor, try values of 90/45 for lines/inch and angle. These values give much better results then the default settings. Don't believe it is possible to change the default values – have to change them every time you start a new project. 73, Kelly
