In the past I could not get SPrinter to work, but having had rather a difficult printing problem (solved by a round the houses use of GView) I thought I would give SPrinter another try, as so many have said just what Martin says. However the printing pauses after generating a 43 Mbyte output file from 1.5 Mbyte input Draw file of A2 size. The error message is: Can't open printer: I have completely restarted the Iyonix after installing Sprinter. I'm using !Printers 1.72. Normally I direct printer output to file with an address for the printer server via LPR. But for SPrinter I set it for parallel output. Any views about this error, anyone? -- Tim Powys-Lybbe tim@xxxxxxxxx For a miscellany of bygones: http://powys.org/
