2.15  Voyager doesn't print right for me.  Why?

   Printing in Voyager is somewhat primitive, compared to the print quality
one  would get on a workstation or Windows PC.  The reason for this is that
PC's  have  OS  routines to handle printing at the very high-resolutions of
printers.   The  Amiga  does  not.   Voyager  prints  the  pages  at screen
resolution,  rather  than printer resolution, and this causes a degredation
in the quality of printed text.

   Voyager  also  cannot print from any screen depth higher than 8 bit (256
color).  This is a limitation of the printer.device.

   Voyager  also  has  a  problem  printing  pages that are longer than one
8.5x11  inch  piece of paper on sheet-fed printers (ie, laser or bubble jet
printers).   Voyager  will  print  the  first sheet and then stop.  This is
because  Voyager  sends  the  web-page  as a large bitmap, and many printer
drivers do not support continuous page graphic dumps.

   Some  people  have  reported  success when using Epson emulation mode on
their  printers  to  send formfeeds at the end of each page.  It seems that
Voyager's printing problems have to do with formfeeds not being sent.

   Canon  BJ  printer  users may have a solution:  using the latest drivers
from  Canon  Europe,  it  may  be possible to get entire web-pages to print
while in Epson 48-pin emulation mode.  In the native BJC modes, the drivers
will not formfeed correctly.  [The Duke of Prunes <kcsmart@swbell.net>].

   If  you  can somehow set your printer to add a formfeed automatically at
the  end  of  every  printed  page,  this  *may* solve some of your Voyager
printing problems.
