Hi.

Here are my problems with pgs4.1.6.33 for Win.

Printing:
- I finally have the "Print File" to ps/eps working but I have to shut
down and restart PGS after changing from "windows" to "Print File" and
vice versa otherwise PGS doesn't print (ie nothing happens).

With Windows Printing to a PS File Or a PS Printer
- Printing takes a very very very long time (3.5 minutes to print a page
with arial text to a hp6mp printer with 4 megs of PS memory.
The same page took 5 second to print with version 4.1.5.Cool
- Can't print custom screen, no matter what settings I use the output is
the same.
- Can't print EPS files, I end up with the XBox (These are EPS files
that printed with the Amiga 3.4 version and load into Ghostscript,
Illustator, photoshop etc)
- Shaped files don't work/print

With "Print File"
- Files printed quickly
- The custom Screens worked
- The EPS files worked
- Shaped fills worked
- doesn't output landscaped files properly (file is cropped with the
wrong orientation)
(by the way, what or where does the output of "print File" go if send to
Printer is selected instead of EPS or PostScript)
- PGS doesn't print Landscaped Documents properly with "print File"

PGS in general
- If I rotate an object with a gradient fill the fill does not rotate
with the object
- arrows work on horizontal line, don't work properly for any other line
angle. Its as though the arrow head wants to stay horizontal and gets
squashed.

I presume that these two are the same?

Make sure you are _not_ choosing Landscape in the print setup requester.

I did not change the printer's paper orientation in the Printer Setup.
(ie left it set to portrait)

When I use the "Windows" printer, landscaped documents print properly
(but take a huge amount of time to print. 20 min to print the test page
with 2 words on it.)

and yes , you presumed right.
