I am having a problem with Professional Page 1.31 which I can't solve. The people at Gold Disk haven't been much help either. I am using an Amiga 2000 with 3 meg ram and Super Agnes with a HP Deskjet printer. Every time I print a document it begins at a different vertical position on the page. One particular simple document consists of a single box with 5 lines of text. I have tried different preferences and printer dip switch settings. Has anybody seen this problem? Any suggestions or solutions?

Try using the PCL (HP's Printer Control Language) command to set the bottom margin. It seems to us that it needs to be set, even though the docs say it shouldn't.

Steve, I have PP 1.3 something (how do you tell if its 1.31? Mine says 1.3 in the banner on the window). Anyway, with 2 different printers it comes out 1/2 inch more left and 3/4 inch more down on the page (or vice versa…I forget) than is shown on the screen. As for the people at Gold DIsk… forget it. Once they've got your dough they don't give a damn about any problems you've got – you're on your own. Actually, I'm supprised you got through. I've been trying since before Chistmas and all I ever get is no answer (after 20 -40 rings) or a busy signal. But on other packages of theirs I have gotten through, sent disks with samples of the problems, hounded them by mail and phone…never did get an answer. wmc
