- Actually, the worst problem I have found is the fact that the printable area
- in the driver doesn't match the real printable area of my DJ500. Anything
- full page that I send to print (whether from HP4 or any graphics program)
- gets split between two pages, which is really annoying.
-
- The Epson driver seems to think there is about a 1" unprintable area at the
- top of the page, when the real unprintable area is around 1/4".
-
- Also , has anyone else had the problem of WP4Win not fully underlining
- spaces when using ATM fonts? (specifically TimesNewRoman) This happens with
- all of the drivers I have tried (3.0, Deskjet Family, DJ500, Win3.1).
- It didn't do it under Windows, so I'm wondering what's going on.
-
- PS: if you print with a Deskjet under WinOS2 _get the 3.1_ deskjet driver.
- Major speed improvement.
