- Yes to both questions. I have a DEClaser 5100 that works flawlessly from
- the Amiga side (PCL or PS), but I could never get it to work right using
- the Mac software. Problems were those you describe, plus that it would
- occasionally say that it failed to communicate with the printer.
-
- I bit the bullet, and purchased PowerPrint from the Mac Warehouse (US$100),
- after a suggestion from another frustrated Emplant user. This package works
- like a charm, using the Amiga parallel port. I'm now printing with no prob-
- lems, from either environment, hassle free. Only drawback was the $$$ :(
-
- As the PP driver wirks just fine, it looks as if the problem is not Emplant,
- but something in the way the Mac side handles printing. Comments on this???
