Jim, you can use the printer/driver you have set under preferences by selecting the "Amiga Printer" in the WP printer selection menu. This works with the version I have, version 4.1, dated 28 Sept 87. The printer will of course behave as it did before when printing through preferences, so you should have the left margin in preferences set to 1 and the right to the maximum for the pitch you select (usually 80). WP just uses spaces for the left margin, so it doesn't change the margin settings. The Amiga Printer is printer #1 in their selection menu in my version. Now I just have to get a less buggy version! Their printer driver for my Star SR-10 printer doesn't do the right flush properly, but the flush does work properly using the Amiga Printer and my driver for the SR-10, also works with my IBM ColourJet and their driver. Also found that they don't close files properly after loading them, meaning I can't save the file back to the original name (or delete the original file – DOS error 202). When I cancel all jobs in the print program, I can no longer access my printer without a re-boot. 73, Kelly
