Funny you should mention this. When I first got a copy of this program
I had the same problem. Except, I was using a Gemini10X. I could not get
the thing to work with the printer unless I did some fancy formating
with page length and width. Even then it was not guaranteed to work.

What did I end up doing? My brother coughed for a new printer that 
is known to work with it. I could not determine exactly if the problem
was in the software or my outdated printer. For all the trouble you are
going through I would suggest buying a new printer. Oddly, I could
get it to work with the Star NX-1000 at the store where I bought the
program. Hope this helps. Has anyone else had this problem with the
older Gemini printers?????
