Dear Folks; I have a HP-550C printer. I've configured my autoexec.bat for the drivers and 3DS2 for the hard copy rendering device. what seems to be a problem to me is that when I print to the 550C I don't get a full page print. As an example. Set to 640 in the X,480 in the Y I get a print about 11/2" x 11/4" roughly. So I tried 1000 x 1000 and got a print of about 21/2" x 21/2". Also the remainer to the right of the picture is printed as a solid color to the end of the paper. I feel that I must not have the right driver and I'm not doing something right. Could you please help. If I need a driver, could you please tell where I can purchase it. Any help will be greatly appriated. Also the name and phone number of any one that can print larger pictures with a better quality so that I can give them to my customers. Thank you very much

Timothy, I don't believe the drivers in 3DS support the 550C. I get the best output by printing out of Windows, specifically out of CorelDraw. If you are not running Windows, there are printer utilities that will allow you to print to the 550C. I'm not sure of their names, though. Anyone out there? Hope this helps, -Alan Iglesias

Alan, Thank you for the information on the 550C printer. I'm checking in to Corel Draw.
