    No need to resize the OWB window to the area you want to print, btw. It will have save the whole page in several pages, with the page total width (which is not really ideal, actually).

    Ahh...really good to know....!.
    Do you think you could improve the printer support for future? I think, there is no need to implement a bitmap-port to print over TP - PostScript is enough, but e.g. a preview and a possibility to choice certain pages would be very helpfull.... This and quicker flash-plugin are the only things I'm wishing for OWB......(it becomes my favorite browser (all plattforms) since V1.6 8-) )

    Printing system in MOS is still same messy as the one from MorphOS 1.x.
    It's gonna change in MorphOS3 I hope.
    Mac mini G4@1,5GHz silent upgrade + Xerox Phaser 3140 + EPSON Perfection 1240U
    Commodore C64C + 2 x 1541II + Datasette + SD-Box

    I miss draggable screens... and do you? I know I'm in a minority unfortunately.

    I get nothing... just a pop-up and the hour glass icon then the window disappears, as if the process was done,
    but nothing prints from pdf. It seems I can print text, but I didn't get this owb/pdf thing.
    Am I missing a starup command, ghostscript, or something in user-startup?

    > Netprinter.device and APDF can be found in Aminet....

    Huh? Both are part of MorphOS (netprinter stuff as contribution). APDF in Aminet is from stone age and not MorphOS native.

    @xyphoid:
    Can you see the saved site in APDF? If you can, than it seems that your installation of Ghostscript is not OK...... Please read the intallationguide again and set the necessary assigns....
    You should have something like this in your user-startup:

    ; Ghostscript
    assign <>NIL: GS: sys:Tools/Ghostscript
    assign <>NIL: gs860: gs:
    assign <>NIL: gs860fonts: gs:fonts
    ...............

    @AW:

    http://aminet.net/comm/tcp/NetPrinter.lha
    in case of APDf you are right......

    I perfectly know that it's in Aminet. What I meant is: The recent version is part of MorphOS 2.4 as well. So there's no need to point a MorphOS 2.4 user to Aminet.

    Have you did the right configuration in Turboprint?
    Select postscript from printer preferences and insert:

    Buffers: 8000KB
    Command Line: GS:bin/gs -sDEVICE=tp24 -q
    Tempdir: RAM:

    OK - I'm sure it's your GS installation. Maybe this would be helpfull: http://www.whoosh777.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/
    I suggest you to delete the present GS installation and install it again. I suggest you also to use the special Ghostscript-Installer from Guido Mersmann..... http://www.geit.de/tmp/contrib_ghostscript.tar (you need internet-connection during installing...)

    there's just too much going on on that page, I've been there 3 times. Which files should I get specifically, I have gs860 currently. it's calling for a 510 or something with tp. would be nice if everything was package in one setup with a gui installer. I also tried 870, but it doesn't install
    thanks for your continued help with this.. 8-)

    Oh - you've missunderstood me - the first site is for information only.....

    You need only to start Guido Mersmann Installer (second link), and he will install AND download the propper files from internet for you....
    There is no need to load a GS-archive manually.....
    (Hint: If you have inserted my data (from then picture) in TP-PS-Site -> select "no" at the installer-point "Turboprint anpassen", otherwise you can let it ....but then check the path in TP after installation is finished - sometimes there are mistakes .....)

    I dont know whether there is a english localisation at the installer or not....if not it could be a little difficult for you (if you dont speak german) - in this case you have to follow the german instructions...... :-)

    BTW: I'm new in this forum: Is there no preview button before uploading the answers....?
