Msg: Re: New U2 frame DDIR

Carl,

I've never succeeded in getting the Ghostscript process to work in xy3, using xy3 postscript drivers. Comments in some of those drivers indicate that xonxoff.com may need to be run, but that doesn't seem to make any difference. gsdll32.dll and gswin32c.exe are in the vdos director.

All that happens is that the printer is sent gibberish, which is probably vdos confused by the postscript driver.

Ideas?

The same is true of GhostScript printing to a PDF, as well.
Personally, I rather like the WYSIWYG preview that the PDF provides.
And GS-printed docs look
good, too. See attached printout of this message (Palatino with
1.25-inch line spacing).
