Anyone know about using ProPage HPDeskjet500 and Super_DJ driver? I have a problem printing more than one page. Each subsequent page is lower from the top. Am I nuts? – Dave Stone – Read MovieSound Newsletter

I don't know the Super_DJ driver … but, have you set the correct page length in Preferences? ProPage, quite rightly, uses the Amiga printer drivers which take most of their data from the setting of Preferences … I'm not sure how much of the page length stuff is taken by ProPage when printing, but it's always best to have it set correctly.

Dave: You're not nuts! There is some kind of a problem with the DJ500 and several Amiga programs/printer drivers. The first page is offset differently from the rest. I had the same problem with ProWrite. There are a number of DJ500 printer drivers in the libraries here, all I can suggest is you try different ones until you find one that works. Personally I have switched to using the POST/POSTDJ programs for printing ProWrite documents and the problem went away, plus the output quality is terrific. I have no idea what causes this problem, I suspect it is some interaction between the actual programs, (ProWrite, ProPage) and the printer drivers. Some programs work, some don't. Wish I could help more, but at least you can take comfort in the fact that you're not alone 🙂 -=Martin=- – via Whap!

Try to set the Skip over perfs dip switch to off. I had a similar problem with PostDJ (which you should get from listings here along with POST if you have enough memory to run it) and that fixed it.
