Greetings; I think there might be a config error in my G0704's .hal file, and I can't see the miss-que with a text editor, so I grabbed a snapshot of it with rockhopper, after going and getting the latest rockhopper.
Thats an svg file format, but it needs converted to something a printer driver groks. So I loaded it up in inkscape and blew it up far enough the text is readable. I had bought a Brother MFC-J6920DW that I am not too happy with, can't get it to use enough ink even at the "best" settings in the cups/brother configurator at localhost:631. Its also running quite slow when the propaganda said it could do 25 PPM. 1.5 is closer to the truth, less when duplexing. >From inkscape I exported it as a 6 page (11x17 landscape pages) pdf. Loaded that up into evince, the pdf reader/printer. Clicked on print, selected "current page", selected the printer and told it the paper was ledger, 11x17. This you have to feed one sheet at a time thru an tiny and unhandy trap door in the rear of the printer, discovering that it seriously needs a better paper guidance facility as you can slid it in , it will be grabbed, but at an angle all too often so the printout might be off level. Even had to scotch tape the guides else the paper pushes them around. But I eventually got the hang of that by turning the printer around so I was standing dead behind it. But between the time it takes evince to actually process one image that size after clicking on print, at least 2 minutes and another 3 or more with the paper and printhead both flying about, eventually I got all 6 pages printed. Close to an hour all told. Now to cut the borders off and tape it together. The reason I post this is not the 11x17 paper helping, but on 8.5x11 paper its 12, maybe 18 sheets, but that the software to handle this has improved immensely in the nominally 2 years since I last did this for the little monster 7x12 lathe. This wasn't a try this and see if it works, if not, try that, because it just worked every step of the way.
