#Printer Driver Help!!
I am another Amigauser with printer problems. I have an A4000/040 and an
A1000, both of which I have tried with my Okidata OL400 laser printer.
The printer claims it is fully compatible with HP LaserJet II. I have
tried the stock LaserJet preferences driver as well as the one with
TurboPrint. The results are very similar. Using Final Writer, the output
looks great, however the image is shifted down the page about 1 inch. No
matter what Final Writer settings I try, I can't seem to get the upper
margin to be less than half an inch (and that's when the screen image
shows my printout starting at the top edge of the paper). Other
applications have similar results. Connected to a PC (I know – ARGH!!!)
my printer works fine – so I know it must have something to do with the
driver. I've called SoftWood but they just told me that Final Writer
works OK with the stock LaserJet driver with their HP printer. Does
anyone know if there is an Amiga printer driver for the Okidata OL400? I
know Micrsoft has a separate OL400 driver for Windows in addition to the
HP drivers.
I thought initially the problem was with my A1000, but my relatively new
A4000/040 does the same thing!
Also (assuming I can get the above sorted out), does anybody know if there
is an Amiga version of the software to print Avery labels and business
cards. Avery sells DOS, Windows, and Mac software but not Amiga! It
sounds like a business opportunity for someone to write some ARexx scripts
for Final Writer for this?
