- I've just tried this to see if it also resolves my problem with Final Copy II
- and the Super_DJ driver. It doesn't. My first page is fine, then I get a
- blank page, then the 3rd page (actually the 2nd printed page) starts
- immediately at the top of the physical page with no top margin. I didn't even
- think the DJ 500 was capable of printing with no top margin!
-
- I would really appreciate someone's settings for FC II, Super_DJ, and DJ Helper
- preferences (if it's used). I had everything set up properly for QuickWrite
- and then purchased FinalCopy II and haven't got a perfect match yet. Any ideas
- would be *greatly* appreciated!

- I've found Super_DJ/DJHelper invaluable with previous problems and well worth
- the money. The tricky part is identifying just the right combination of
- parameters for each individual program which is an unfortunate aspect of the
- current state of DeskJet support.
