The difficult bit is setting the config for printGFD. I've done my best to fathom it, but need some help setting up the "paper/area" option. It's talking about a rectangle for the print area on the paper. I have attemted to print a simple web page that should take a couple of sides of 8"x11" paper that we call A4 over here, I've ended up with the whole web page squashed into a rectangle 3"x 6" in area on the paper. A good demonstration of the capabilities of the printer, but not as expected. Am I correct that printGFD will print complete web pages saved as a (big) .BMP that will fill the width of paper, and use more than 1 sheet if necessary. While printing and still in Arachne printGFD shows the status of printing in the microscopic DOS text that shows through, what is the command switch in MIME.CFG to pop into printGFD so we can see the status text and then back into Arachne after print job done.
