Re: [Digital BW] Re: Solving QTR problems -- Good News Update

2004-12-31 by Peter Palmieri

Roy--is the "sheet/roll paper feed problem" refer to the problem of manually feeding thick paper from the front of the printer?

I have a big (and expensive) inventory of 17 X 22 Premier Fine Art 325gs/sq.m that I am longing to use and am awaiting for the fix. 

By the way, I have done a complete house cleaning twice, but the front-loading problem persists. Printing from the paper tray is OK (except once it stopped printing 1/3d of the way).

  Yes, things have been going on while I was out too.

  I've been able to isolate two major problems -- 

  1) the sheet/roll paper feed problem

  2) people with multiple drives are likely to have difficulty.

  ----------------------------

  There are still two known issues that are easily worked around.

  1) Only the 1440 resolutions should be used.   2880 and 720 are not
      working and wouldn't be useful with the current profiles anyway.

  2) There are some foreign character restrictions.  Some special characters
       are a problem in either the filename or the folder pathname.
       Limiting yourself to standard ascii characters will work around this.

  ----------------------------

  I've sent the info to Stephen and as soon as we can get the simple
  fixes in and a new download we should all be a lot happier.

  Thanks for your patience.
  Roy
