It works fine with non-PostScript printers, providing you have a version of PDriverDP 4.54 or later. This is available on ROOL's site. See the archives of this list for further details. Certainly, this whole episode has demonstrated quite clearly that my efforts in this regard have been wasted. It appears that very few people actually use non-PostScript printers in conjunction with RO5. I see from the pages of Archive magazine that there are apparently issues with the new drivers and Artworks. It would be nice if someone actually reported this to ROOL, as I'm sure they'd want to know about it. Complaining about things on mailing lists certainly isn't going to bring issues with ROOL components to the attention of those best placed to be able to do something about it. ROOL have a bug tracker. Please use it. John.
