If I have any >time this summer, I'll may write it myself. A friend of mine just bought himself an Amiga 3000, and they picked up a GX- 140 along with it. He purchased AmigaTeX, and I mentioned to him that I have used DVIprint successfully on my Panasonic 1124. Since the two printers claim to perform the same emulations (Epson LQ and IBM Proprinter), I figured that DVIprint should work for him with no problem. Wrong. It fails miserably. DVIprint loads all the fonts correctly, but prints garbage. Does anyone know what's up? Is the GX-140's emulation funny? Is there a workaround? I would appreciate any help...
