3905.0. "Help needed with Fonts and Graphics printing!" by WEDOIT::DAUB () Thu Jul 05 1990 15:58

    Does the LA50 driver handle printer Fonts in the AMIGA? I have an
    A500 with 512KB. I have loaded MYLA50 into DEVS and draft printing
    works fine just plain characters. 
    
    I read the notes on graphic printing problems with WB 1.3 and an
    LA50. But I have WB 1.2 on my ProWrite disk and still can't get
    the different Fonts to print. If I try to copy to PRT: from the
    CLI mode I get junk and a lot of form feeds so I guess the text
    file is not stored with the needed printer char.
    
    Can the Amiga handle fonts on an LA50 with WB 1.2? Do I need a
    a different LA50 driver and WB 1.3? Or is there no hope of using
    an LA50 with Fonts and Graphics under ProWrite on the Amiga.
    
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I was able to use the LA50 driver with the 1.2 printer device for
    printing from DPaint but that the 1.2 printer device  would not work
    with ProPage. For some reason Propage wanted to see the 1.3 device.
    Maybe ProWrite has the same type of problem.

    My ProWrite disk came with WB1.2 but the printer.device was from
    1.3 .  When I replaced the new 1.3 printer.device with the old 1.2
    printer.device file, the fonts worked fine on my LA50. I have not
    had time to try a graphic dump yet.
