Re: 1290 printer + 1280 driver + UT2 = success!

2004-03-27 by Gareth

Steve, I have being doing some work with Paul on this issue.  I am 
going to download the drivers and try some test prints this 
afternoon, although I have not had any problems with the prints on my 
1290 and UT2.  Then again I have not had anything to compare them to, 
other than my UT1 prints!

Cheers

Gareth
