Tim, the driver should be over in AmigaUser. Hope this solves everybodies "offset" problems with ProPage. The driver doesn't use any PCL5 commands, so it should work in any model LaserJet or clone – as long as they have enough memory for a full page of 300 dpi graphics to use the Density 6 option. I can't remember what PCL5 added anymore <GRIN>! Been too long since I looked at the manual. This winter I will sit down and see what should be added to the driver to take advantage of PCL5 features. What I really want to see is a program that can take a WB CG fonts file and convert it to the proper format for downloading to the printer as a scalable CG font. Then have GoldDisk come out with a version of ProPage with enough smarts to take advantage of the fonts in the printer. PP would only have to worry about graphics and such – much faster printing should be the end result if they did it right. Learn by doing…. the only way 73, Kelly
