I am using it with the UltraScript fonts I bought it with. I have printed
real complicated stuff with it without a hitch but at times simple text
printing causes the screen to go black and out comes a sheet of paper with
a 1 cm. gray band and nothing else.

Does anyone know if QMS/Imagen are still supporing the Atari version?

I don't want to spend some more money and run the same risk again; I'd rather
go out and buy a real postscript printer.
