Dennis: Hmm, your problem sounds VERY similar to a problem I had about a year ago (actually, I still have the problem but just gave up). In my case, I was printing a WFW document with spacing hard set to 12pts next to a field of embedded PostScript code, and no matter what I did WFW printed everything just a little bit bigger, causing me to lose a half a line over the course of 10". The answer I eventually got back from MS was that it was a conversion problem between twips and points, and was inherent to Windows. Seemed like a bogus answer to me, but I'd hit the wall and had to drop the application I was developing; there was no point in embedding PostScript if I couldn't be sure of it's EXACT position on the page relative to the text. But to answer your question, yes I've gone through the .WPD add-in route, and that only helped to crash the printer more often with large files (as from PowerPoint). I also tried the two semi-revved drivers that Aldus put out. I also tried to get some support from PDP, but never managed to get in touch with anyone who knew anything more than the stuff on the spec sheet. Anyway, there's a new PS driver for Win 3.1, so I can't see anybody putting any more effort into getting the existing piece of junk to work well. There is 1 Reply.
