NetSurf printing
Has any progress be made with NetSurf's printing on RISC OS 5? The current release has the same help instructions as previous issues about lack of Font Manager and printer drivers support - there is a comment about a patch for non-Postscript printers that has been submitted to RISC OS Open Ltd.

Re-draw problems - this doesn't sound good :-(( I need to speak to you about getting FileCrypt to work. I'll contact you separately on this one. Regards Richard

How do I preceed from here please You need to download the previous copy of the binaries, which included a copy of !Printers. The most recent binary only contains update files and not the full application. Having said that, I've encountered weird redraw problems with !Printers 1.73 so I've gone back to the previous version to avoid crashing the machine. :-(

The Printing section has !Printers which stupidly I substituted (luckily I took a backup) for my old copy (Printer 1.72) thinking it would contain the modifications required to get NetSurf to print correctly. This is only a skeleton app containing directories... dp, lj, Modules, Palettes, PDumpers, ps and Remote. There is a Boot file but am reluctant to run this as I unaware of its effect on my system - nice and reliable at the moment. None of this is meaningful. How do I preceed from here please John.

Some people have reported success in printing to a non-PostScript printer using the latest release of !Printers; I don't have one of these, so I still can't :-( With best wishes, Peter. -- Peter \ / zfc Er \ Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.
