- I've been having trouble getting GS/OS to coexist with my printers.
- Currently, I have a Panasonic KXP-1124i printer running off of an ancient
- Grappler+ interface card. Drivers installed are BurgerBill's Grappler
- driver (thank goodness for that) and the Epson compatible driver.
-
- The problem is that every GS/OS application I have thinks that my paper is
- about an inch longer than it really is, so everything prints past the bottom
- margin and formfeeds. The printer and the application then get out of sync
- as to where the paper perfs are, and everything gets shot to hell. I haven't
- been able to print _any_ document or graphic page correctly from 16-bit aps
- since I got the GS in 1987.
-
- I've tried the various paper sizes...doesn't appear to make a difference.
- Do applications just assume that everything is 72dpi and screw the Epson's
- different rez graphics printing? Help! Help!
