I got an update from Final Writer's Contact email with the message:

I know on MorphOS printing is fairly well covered however it's in my best
interest to have the 2800 Printers within gutenprint supported.
=== end of email ===

So, I thought I should keep others that are interested with this application's development up to date here with that most recent contact and information from the Final Writer website/developer(s).

Ready for an update for Final Writer v7 . . . .. so am I . . . . but we'll have to wait, as since from early 2023 there does not seem to be any update ready for MorphOS users, well not on the Final Writer (GoDaddy) website - linked below

My comments still do not mean that I do not want the project to succeed, as I do, but there seems to be little to keep enthusiasm going for it, when it is still languishing, long and hard, in the continuing data 'doldrums' ?

I would still hope there's a reply back here soon, with an update on some progress for FinalWriter v7 for 2023. No point in holding my breath though as I can't hold my breath for 10 months or anywhere near that amount of time

These are the Final Writer v7 *Featured Products* for 2023 ... huh !
