Msg: Re: Testing printing with vDosXy 500

Thanks Kari. I'm still trying to figure out why the lockups and errors I noted happened. I need to get a lot more comfortable with this, to where it simply works -- reliably.

Jordan,

If you have an old DOS printer connected to LPT1, you can use the raw
print option. Otherwise GhostPCL is your best bet, and as a bonus, it
offers a really nice print preview. When using Xy4, You may achieve
better results with a PCL printer file (e.g. PCL.PR4). And for Xy3, I
recommend the new PCL_LTR.PR3, PCL_LGL.PR3 and PCL_A4.PR3. The installer
does not have these, they are are a separate download
(http://www.lexitec.fi/xywrite/PCL_print_files_for_XY3.zip).
