1330.0. "LA50 and Notepad." by AYOV10::ATHOMSON (C'mon, git aff! /The Kelty Clippie) Wed Apr 13 1988 14:59

    Last night my daughter asked me to print off some examples of the
    "fancy" fonts that she knew I had on the Amiga, so I thought, what
    the hell, Notepad is probably the quickest way. So, I started up
    Notepad, typed in the alphabet in upper and lower case and the digits
    0-9. Then I tried printing it........ (I'm using the LA50 driver
    and an LA50)
    
    Sometimes, the top pass of the print head (for each row of characters)
    would be
    						way over here
    and the rest here.
    
    The only way I could get it to work was to use GraphicDump and click
    Notepad to the front before it started, but of course this gave
    me the title bar, gadgets etc. too. 
    
    Is this a known bug ? In LA50 ? In Notepad ? I'm not really that
    worried about it as I have hardly ever used Notepad but it would
    be nice to know...

1330.1It works on my Epson...NEXUS::D_WHITEUncle DaveMon May 23 1988 18:375
    I was able to successfully print the various fonts out in notepad
    using my Epson FX-85.   This leads me to be believe that it must
    be something with the driver...
