Al, Heidi and all,
Same here. No printing-problems whatsoever with my good old configuration.
HP-deskjet 510 (yes they still exist). Never changed printing/video drivers.
Installed the 6.52 EOD patch over 6.5. And using Windows'98 Second Edition.
So I begin to think that the problem is with the new stuff.
As long as you use "old" print- and video-drivers you can print well.
The problems seem to begin as soon as one starts using the latest
generation of printers and videocards with their drivers.
Thus Equis, in one or another way does not keep up with these developments
(?!)
