- hi--
-
- i've got a 2si with a HP Deskwriter C (original, not the nifty five
- fifty)...
-
- i could of sworn that i printed something in color once with
- illustrator 3.2, but perhaps i was mistaken. i KNOW that i can with
- pagemaker 4.2, but when i place EPS into pm 4.2, all that prints is a
- nasty bitmapped preview.
-
- illustrator somehow cleans up it's previews and rasterizes (?) it's
- postscript commands into something that looks quite nice on the
- deskwriter. unfortunately it doesn't do color. grayscale it does,
- color it does not.
-
- i've got...version 2.0, directly from HP.
-
- so somebody tell me--apart from buying freedom of the press light (oh
- yeah, i've got $99 lying around here somewhere--NOT)--is there any way
- to get color from illustrator 3.2 to my deskwriter c?
-
- please e-mail your replies, and i'll post a summary--honest :}
