I have a LaserJet+ printer that works fine with everything as does my Panasonic Dot Matrix, however the HP LaserJet only prints one staff of music per page when printing from DeluxeMusic. I have called EA twice and have not had a reply that works. I have noticed when using the Panasonic(Epson compatable) that there is what appears to be a reset (Print head returns to beginning of line etc.) after each staff. If this is happening then it could be causing the HP to eject the page after every staff. Any suggestion (maybe a way to disable the reset if that's what it is ) would be appreciated. I sure am using a lot of paper and Electronic Arts is no help. Thanks, Frank

Frank: It is a rather circuitutious route but the JetSet drivers from C-LTD will likely solve your problem. In fact they definately can solve the problem since there is also a program on the set that can be used to change the page eject character in the LaserJet but I doubt that you would have to do anything quite that drastic. The drivers conform to standard AmigaDos except that they will not allow a graphics program to directly reset the printer. These drivers have cleared up a number of problems similar to yours that I was having with the LaserJet and other programs (though I did buy the JetSet program for the soft fonts, the rest was an unexpected but pleasent surprise). 73, bill
