Can anyone offer any tips on printing from the Amiga? Until recently, I've never even had a printer hooked up to my 4000, and have done all my printing by transferring everything over to the PC. Now that I've hooked up an HP DeskJet 550C to the 4000, I'm *still* having to print everything on the PC! Here's what I've tried: Found an Amiga driver for the 550C, and installed it in the drawer with all the other printer drivers… Went to the PREFS drawer, selected PRINTER, chose the 550C driver, selected PRINTER GFX, plus the other 2 configurable printer-related icons, and set everything up the way I wanted it… Go to the TOOLS drawer, and double-click 'InitPrinter', then 'GraphicDump'… Also tried "Print Area" from ImageMaster… THE RESULTS: Page after page of sheets with nothing but a line of two of unreadable garbage; continues until the printer is turned off… Hints and tips, anyone? Many thanks! Jerry
