Hiya.

first, if you are reading this... then I am supprised... I have a terrible news server here...
but I'm desparate for help.

I have a paper due soon... and I need to print a gfx file that I mainted with DPaintIV AGA... but
each time I try, it will not print... I makes a few noises and then just sits there...

I have tried each and every setting in the pringer prefs of OS 3.1. The printer prints fine with
text otput, and with gfx with FinalCopy... but not with DPaint or anything else that prints
single images...

I have also been having constant screen mode problems... I use a 1084s monitor and have set it's
screen adjustments to pal... terminus, WB, DOpus, etc will work okay in pal... they all have
optionals for screen modes... but anything else... is screwy... they either switch to ntsc which
chops the bottom of the screen off... it it goes to pal, but still, the bottom of the screen is
choped... either way, I can not seem to get true pal screens. The boot menu on the 1200 (ONCE
IN A WHILE) will work, but again, sometimes it does not. (OCTAMED 4.00g is a good example) My old
500 had a hardware switch... it worked better than this 1200 is working.

would these two problems be connected in regards to the 1200 chips? any help would be very much
appreciated.

my system:

1200HD OS 3.1 Kick 3.0
HP600c printer with 500c and 550c drivers...
1084s monitor

help...
