Re: Print Shop Printer Drivers?

[Dain Neater <dneater@inebraska.com>]

  I just got my Epson Stylus 740 a 1440x720 printer to print in color on
Print Shop GS.  It is hooked up via a Grappler+ Paralell card.  I used the
Epson 2500 LQ driver, and selected yes when it asked me if I had a color
riboon.  The one problem that I found is that the print out seems to start a
few lines down from where it should and then the print out ends up printing
beyond a page if the whole print area is used.

Does such a driver exist on Harmonie?

Thanks,
Dain Neater
