It seems like Pagesetter (not the international version) has great difficulty
printing using any printer drivers other than the ones on its own disk - and
even difficulty with those! I tried to print using the HP laserjet+ driver
from the Pagesetter disk, and it gives "printer preferences not appropriate"
error. And booting off another disk causes the same error when you try to
print.

Does anyone know what is going on with the Pagesetter preferences? They seem
to want you to use nothing but the Epson driver it is initially set up for.
The fact that it is a 1.1 Workbench is of no help, I'm sure, but moving it
to a fresh 1.2 Workbench with all printer drivers set up correctly doesn't
help a bit. This is very annoying when trying to convince people that the
Amiga can produce good output; any help would be appreciated.

As far as the moderated groups goes...well, it looks like I'll be posting that
ultrafast mandel program to comp.sys.amiga before too long, unless 
circumstances interfere.

My own personal opinion is that the end justifies the means. I am only
on a student account, which will no doubt disappear one day, and I am farther
away from the site of most Amiga activity than the average netter. However
if people were sending their stuff to me, it would be distributed to thousands
of happy Amigoids in a short time, no hassles or delays. I'm sure most of you
reading this would be able to say the same. So as long as it works, what's
the problem? (This should in no way be seen as an invitation to start flooding
my mailbox with sources and binaries, although *I* wouldn't complain :-).

I know that the full Mandelbinary did get to Doc, although I've seen no sign
of it on the net nor received confirmation from him himself. Looks like that
drain on the old phone bill was for naught.
