- I am using it with the UltraScript fonts I bought it with. I have printed
- real complicated stuff with it without a hitch but at times simple text
- printing causes the screen to go black and out comes a sheet of paper with
- a 1 cm. gray band and nothing else.
-
- Does anyone know if QMS/Imagen are still supporing the Atari version?

-
- I don't want to spend some more money and run the same risk again; I'd rather
- go out and buy a real postscript printer.
