Hey there,

That could be a whole load of things, but I would guess it's something in
TP7. I have been running TurboPrint7 on Amiga OS3.5 + BoingBag 1 for quite
some time without any problems. Saying the printed quality is 'awful' and
'bad' is like complaining it doesn't work - too generic. But here are a few
suggestions:

- Check the printer driver settings. Paper type, resolution, quality,
everything.

- Check the printer itself. Is the print head or drum still good, aren't you
running out of ink or toner?

- If you have an inkjet printer you might want to try cleaning or alignment
procedures.

- If you mean the output looks like 8 bit colour instead of 24 bit colour,
make sure the workbench printer driver you made in TurboPrint is set to
TurboPrint enhanced mode, otherwise you get 'old-fashioned' output from
using the prefs printer.

Sorry for my words :] but I was mad ;} when wanted to check the printer and it
didn't work the way it should ;)

Maybe printer driver settings in OS3.5 aren't set up correctly... Will have to
check them again...

Erm, for now PageStream and TurboPrint7.0 works perfectly when print from
those 2 programs. But when hit CTRL+LALT+P and try to print from DrawStudio -
I got very very strange 'effect'. Like 'black' colour is now 'white' and on
ONE part of the printed image, picture is messy and many 'black blocks' are
missing, so picture looks very 'trippy' [hard to xplain]

Port is set to Turbo-Par [in Turboprint prefs], and to HP_LaserJet6series.

Jesus....! Now I clicked accidently to CTRL+LALT+O [!?] and workbench
gets printed perfectly!!!

[Do I have ghost in machine???]

I'll have to test further... I'll let u know if everything ends well )

Now I'll try to print from DrawStudio... Just a sec...

I snapshotted WB and imported the pic into DS. Now waiting for printout...

Heh!

Works!!!

Can't believe!! What happened? Everything prints perfectly!

Hehe )

Great! I'm glad problem solved... itself [but how?] ))))
