A couple of months ago I checked in here and found an HPR Pagestream printer driver. Now I can't find it anywhere? What's happened to it? Thanks, Chris

You might check in Soft-Logik's library in AmigaVendor Forum.

Thanks very much. Off to look for it. While I'm at it, do you know if anyone has hacke together a driver for Amiga WordPerfect for the new HP4 series? Where would I look for that. I know WordPerfect doesn't support the Amiga any more, but a lot of us are still using it. Thanks. Chris

The old LaserJet drivers should work fine, you just won't have access to fancy features. WP 4.1 can't take advantage of them any way, so no loss! Dale L. Larson Intangible Assets Manufacturing (info@iam.com) "That's the best part about being crazy. You see things no one else can see."

Thanks, Dale. Don't know enough to know if I can have access to the 600 X 600 dpi with WP 4.1. Does the machine use that as its default setting, or does one have to give command codes to enter that mode. And "fancy features?" What things were you referring to? I assume one can switch fonts and such. Perhaps it just WP 4.1 just doesn't automatically adjust line length and line spacing. Of course, I'm not really sure if 5.0 or 6.0 does that either, since I don't use IBM's at all except the XT BridgeBoard and 5.0 there. Off, Chris

If you just send ascii characters to the printer, it prints them at its highest resolution. Amiga WordPerfect doesn't know about graphics, only about ASCII. Dale L. Larson Intangible Assets Manufacturing (info@iam.com) "That's the best part about being crazy. You see things no one else can see."

Dale, Thanks for the info. Glad to hear the highest resolution will be used. What's Intangible Assets Manufacturing? Vaporware? Care to answer via Email? Chris

The bottom line (the true value of a company or any other endeavor) is more than financial. Dale L. Larson Intangible Assets Manufacturing (info@iam.com) "That's the best part about being crazy. You see things no one else can see."

I heartily agree. Quality of life and money are not interchangable. So tell me about Intangible Assets Manufacturing. Chris
