If changing drivers fixes it, then it's NOT Protel's problem. Similarly, if changing printer settings fixes it, it's NOT Protel's problem.
The problem may only appear in Protel because it might use unusual parameters or unusual series of calls to the printer driver. The application code in a Windows program that does the printing is very similar to the code that drives the display, and is basically independent of which printer (or printer driver) is selected. An application's code (e.g., Protel) will (typically) do the exact same series of calls (to the Window's print interface) whether it's printing to Acrobat, or a PCL printer, or a Postscript printer. It's up to the printer driver to generate the corresponding output (PDF, PCL, or Postscript). > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason Morgan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 1:22 AM <snip> > Protel say its the printer drivers fault (but no other program produces such > wierd output).
