WHich commands do you need? dBase IV does provide basic setup commands for the LJ4-series – they cover "regular" and "compressed", and portrait / lanscape page orientations, but that's about it. It's far from being a complete printer driver, but check the documentation again. The problem is that the original design of dBase itself made no provision for proportional fonts, so it really doesn't know how to take advantage of your 4Si's best-looking typefaces, let alone how to select trays, etc. You *can* easily print dBase reports using any size of _any_ LJ4Si internal font, however, with our "SizeIt" utility. Its conveninet setup menus also control page orientation, paper size & tray, all four margins, and so on. And you can freely select Times, Arial, Omega, or whatever proportioal font you like, becasue SizeIt will keep the columns lined up for you automatically. It;s fast, easy to use, and inexpensive. If you'd like more information, just send us a postal address by COmpuServe mail… Irv Thomae (SizeIt author) Succinct Systems, Inc.
