Thank you for sharing your experience, Gary!  The man I spoke w/ @ Softwood 
had never heard of the problem, and had no suggestions.  (For the record, 
I'm *NOT* flogging SW, just reporting.)


: First, make sure that the printer is set to the proper defaults (no skip
: perf, Epson emualtion, 0 left margin, 85 right margin, etc).

I assume you mean the DIP switches that configure the printer?  I can 
only set margins in the driver prefs.  0 & 85, huh?  *That*'s certainly 
one I'd never have guessed....


: ...I thought I should be using 'skip perf' as a default

: 'continuos' in the printer prefs portion of FW.

my primary is single-sheet, so no sweat.

Hmmm...I'll check into this.

Curious;  does anyone know if Wolf's Canon driver will drive if the BJ is 
in Epson emulation?


Thanks again for your input!
