I have a similar complaint. Last night I spent a couple of hours trying to use PageSetter with my Epson LQ-800. At a couple of places on the page, a blank gap appeared across the width of the page, splitting the text and rendering it unreadable. All of the text that wasn't thus affected was very pleasing to the eye. I'm using "my own" LQ-800 printer driver, adapted from the Commodore Epson driver. I get excellent results with DPaint II, so I'm pretty sure that my driver isn't buggy. I also have a hunch that PageSetter might not be using the Preferences settings. My driver uses different density modes, based on the Letter/Draft and 6 LPI / 8 LPI settings, with Draft/6 LPI being noticeably faster. Changing these settings made no apparent difference with PageSetter. I've grown pretty much disenchanted with my Amiga/LQ-800 combination and its prospects for ever generating quality output as I've seen/created on the Macintosh with ImageWriter II. I would like to hear from someone who has a similar configuration, hopefully with better results than I'm getting. > > > Wilson Cheung > Mark -- < Mark R.
