Printing gripe

[Hyperspeed]

Neither the original Workbench printer prefs program or Turboprint will allow you to print odd/even pages.

I just loaded Wordworth 6 and when you click 'print' it gives a small window to confirm a few things before you send it to the printer:

Range
· All
· Pages  [    ]  (1-45 for example)
Copies [    ]

Options
Print >
Odd and even pages
Odd pages only
Even pages only

Shade >
Black and White
Colour
Greyscale 1
Greyscale 2

[]Draft Printout
[]Collate Copies
[]Reverse Order
[]Background Printing

You can get Wordworth 6 on the Wordworth Office 6 CD-ROM including Digita Datastore, Organiser and Money Matters. You could try Wordworth 7 too.

Hrrmmm, ethernet printing on Amiga - wonder if that's possible. Turboprint can redirect output to various devices...

I bought a Stylus 3000 last year that prints carpet-sized pages and that has a network card in it. Might save a bit of time using ethernet instead of the slooOOow parallel port!

It is possible to print to ethernet over TCP/IP by using the Networking Printer Client from Aminet - NetParLpr.lha.

Says it works with Turboprint... will give it a try tommorrow! Thanks!

Any verdict on this question of sending printer stuff to and from ethernet ports?

I'll try the tool on Aminet tommorrow when I can get a forklift to move the Stylus 3000.

I can't remember whether it had a BNC or an RJ45 connector now. I do have a spare RJ45 lead and a 3COM card for the A1200's PCMCIA port so I might be able to try something. The limiting factor will probably be the CPU though.

I have some cool pics I wanna print but they're 9 megapixel and I want them on A2 paper so this should be interesting.
