But the 10 inch limit still leaves 1 1/4 inches at the bottom of an A4 page that could be printed on, even after allowing for the 1/2 inch gap, so my original request still stands; Is there any way of increasing the height? > I still wish I had a 68030, though, because generating 1 meg of >bitmap (at 300 DPI) is a big strain on my poor 68000... 10 minutes to >print a page... > > Robert Gagnon Yes, pro page is slow, isn't it? The AmigaTex deskjet driver (specifically for TeX outputs only) does a full page in about a fifth of the time.. and copes with A4 properly, so it can be done! I wonder how much of the speed difference is down to pro page and how much to going through the graphic dump driver? -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | | Jerry Cullingford jc@cel.co.uk or jc@crosfield.co.uk | ,-|-- | #include Amiga! 2,000,000+ and counting.... | \_|__ +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ \___/
