- Don't know if this is the right group, so I hope someone can help.
-
- A friend has an amiga 2000, 80meg hard drive, 2 - 3.5 floppies,
- 1 - 5.25 floppy, bridge card, and a Commodore Genlock. It's connected
- to a Star NP-10 printer. He just had Workbench 2.0 installed.
-
- Two problems:
-
- 1. He just got Final Copy II for Xmas (and had to upgrade to 2.0
- Workbench). When he tries to print documents, it won't print text
- or pictures. If he chooses the postscript print option, the
- postscript text prints fine on the printer. Printing from
- Notepad, or Paint works fine. We went through the printer setup
- panel when I was there, and tried a number of different
- combinations, all to no avail. Interestingly, the resolution
- selector, which goes from 1-7 always shows 300/300 DPI although
- the manual seems to indicate they should change. Anyone who can
- help?
-
- 2. Because the Genlock is installed, he cannot boot the amiga unless he
- plugs in a video source and turns the video source on. (This was
- also true when he had the Workbench 1.3 ROM installed.) This is a
- major headache. Any one know a solution (short of removing the Genlock)?
-
- Please e-mail responses since I'm not a regular reader of this news
- group, although I'll scan it for the next couple of days if thats the
- only way you can send it. Thanks in advance for any help.
