hi!
Was just looking to unwind this morning and saw this.

I don't have 3.3a on my computer any more (must be 9 years old?), but 4.1 (or newer) doesn't have this problem. It would be possible for you to write a little ARexx script that did this by reading all the vertical guides and adding 3mm if it is something you can not solve. Could it be possible that snap to grid is causing this problem? Of course, it would be better just to figure out why the page doesn't print in the right spot on the paper.

Actually, 3.4 is just a free update for 3.3 users. But if we are dispensing advice, I think you both should get the upgrade to 5.0! You get 4.1 as well as 5.0.

You don't select a device in PageStream's print setup like hypercom.device. Instead, you select a file device something like "prt:", "ser:", "par:", "work:temp.ps", or whatever. As I recall, a utility exists that will create a file system device out of a system device. Or map it over par: or something like that. Someone else can probably tell you the exact name, or try looking at aminet or search with google etc.

Exactly. PageStream Home. The website has actually undergone a lot of improvements in the last few months and is worth a visit IMHO.
