If this is XyIII, I have nothing to suggest, as I haven't used it in
years. But in 4 there is a perfectly simple and workable solution.
Download Ghostscript and Gsview and use Robert Holmgren's TYP routine
from U2 with his Postghst.prn driver (new version, IIRC, with updated
high-order characters). It Just Works. Even on a USB printer. By the
bye, Gsview can save one's bacon in other circumstances. I have to print
a form for the PO every week from a specialized mailing application. For
some reason, if I don't print to a Postscript printer, the PO logo at
the top comes out backward (mirror writing). One day the PS printer was
down, and I had to print the form. So I loaded the PS driver, printed to
a file, called the file under GSView, and printed to an HP deskject. No
mirror writing. All under Windoesnt.
Look, Paul and I had a few problems with TYP when it first came out, but
that was mostly (at least in my case) my absentmindedness. It's not
rocket science (using it isn't, I mean; writing it surely was). It
works, and the two add-ons are very useful for other problems and well
worth getting.
