all, i'm getting to a stage where i might be considering doing some writing .. i'm hoping to find a tolerant soul out their (i have dyslexia and significantly impeared learning faculties) but in an earlier life i was a tolerably good systems analyst and business consultant making a fair to goodly living from my meager skills. i understand how freebsd works, but i'll be damned if i can work out out to construct the machine that will produce printed documentation. currently i have several printers, a fujitsu dl 2400 (no single sheet feeder, they are still available i think, maybe one day). and a gothic styled epson epj-200 (not sure about the alpha part of the designation, it is a ???-200, i will handle multiple sheets (a3 and a4, installed) does only black ink and has 500 kb inboard memory, it screws up the print (stop's where the page ran out of memory and form feed to the same place on the following page and continues where it left off, weird) it can pretend to be a HP lazerjet II, or an apple laserjet IIplus .. not sure about postscript) the epson has passible letter quality for a ink-jet while the fujitsu will make 5 copies (multiple carbons) as good as some of the old daisy wheels we used to use for executive letter head at the last contract i had. but, this requires bit mapped images to be sent to the printer, or to access the inboard fonts (will do double high and double wide as well as the standard stuff and courier and times roman and some other fancy stuff that was really fancy for a 24 pin dot-matrix at the time. sorry, i get carried away when i brag about my old fujitsu, its almost as good as a real printer and definitely better than most of those toy "laser-jet-alike" printers pretending to be 2400 dpi typographic machines. anyway, looking forward to you replies off list, please. i've tried to set this up several times and only manage to get frustrated and even more confused. i'm not use what software is required and more confused about what order things need to be done in and how to process to finished product. with regards and appreciation for your help. jonathan l -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
