Pagestream 2.0 Graphics

Is anyone having trouble with Pagestream 2.0 as I am? I try to import graphics, and the dialog box comes up saying the graphic is not supported by any of the import modules. But the module is there plus the graphic is one of their own supplied examples. This thing is driving me crazy. Please, anyone, suggestions.

Roger, I just received my PgS 2.0 upgrade yesterday. I have had no problem importing IFF images (have not had a chance to try all the others). Are you running off of a hard disk. If so are you sure you have deleted all the 1.8 related drivers and import modules? The directory structure has been changed for PgS 2.0. Printer drivers and import modules have now been separated into their own directories. Is yours set up that way? Since I have had no problems, it sounds as if PgS 2.0 can't "find" the correct import module the way you have it set up. Without more information this is only a wild guess. -Paul-

Thanks Paul, You were right. Pagestream couldn't "find" the modules. I am running off of floppies, though. Now that it's working correctly I've run into another problem, though. I'm trying to output to a color 24 pin printer using the EpsonQC driver but all I get is a form feed with NO printing. I've been working around this by using the EpsonQCW driver which DOES work, but still wonder about the other Epson driver. Also I try using the LQ2550 driver with color but get only B/W. Any suggestions there. Thanks for the help on the other problem, I see you helping out on this forum quite often. Thanks, Roger

Roger, I just read a posting on SL's BBS that they know that there IS a problem with the Epson driver, and that they are working on it. I'll let you know if I see a posting of a new Epson driver over there. -Paul-

Roger – Go to your Globals menu and set up your pathnames. The program expects some files to be in certain places unless you tell it different through the Set Paths (or something like that) requestor. That should fix things. Harry

Roger, Did you set up your "Set/Save Paths" under the "GLOBAL" menu item? You need to have it set for your DRIVERS subdirectory, and you need the NEW 2.0 DRIVERS (ONLY!) in that subdirectory. It really does work. I've imported every kind of graphic that is currently supported – and they work just fine. Lloyd

Thanks Harry & Lloyd, You were right about the Paths. Here's another question, though. I've tried Hi-res graphics and couldn't get them to work. Do they work for you? Thanks again ..Roger

Roger, Glad you found your "problem". Do you mean loading a hi-res IFF graphic and printing it? If so, yes it works properly. What is your setup? What printer, how much RAM, etc.? Lloyd
