	I have been having a lot of trouble trying to get Pagesetter to
work properly with the Star micronics Gemini-10x printer.  I have been
already told that the Epson driver has a different vertical dot density
than the Gemini-10x and therefore causes occasional squashing of text
output.  
	Therefore, I spent some time using the PrtDrvGen utility on
Fred Fish #90.  After some struggling I finally got a working driver
that could handle screen dumps from the graphic dump utility on the
Workbench 1.2 disk.  However, when used with Pagesetter nothing 
worked.  I diverted output from the PRT: device to a file then examined
the contents.  It seemed for some reason the driver thought it was dumping
text rather than graphics and instead of setting the proper control
characters to put my printer into graphics mode, it started setting the 
pitch, tabs, and margins and then starting sending sending a bunch of
bit mapped data which of course sent my printer through crazy gyrations.

	I checked that I set all the required parameters for the four 
possible densities of the printer driver.  Could someone assist me?
