- Yes, PPage does print graphics a bit to low and a bit to the left.
- You can correct this by using the Offset gadgets in the PPage
- print requester. I use -0.5 for both Offset parameters on DIN A4
- paper size.

- Warped? When it comes to color printing using PPage and WB
- drivers, you'll quickly see that PPage is fine. There are only
- two things that should get improved: offsets and speed.

- No, this is a driver issue and can most likely be avoided by
- running InitPrinter after reseting/turning on the printer. Or get
- the Studio printer software. Studio allows you to print with 256
- greyscales from Amiga applications (yes, works fine with PPage!)
- and many other things...

- Yep, PageStream is fast but far from being good when it comes to
- graphics.
