Yes, that's the problem of FW. It only starts ARexx-Scripts with less than 62 characters in filename. If the name is longer FW will cut it. So ARexx can't find the script. Copy the script to RAM: and start it from there. It will work. Please look at the FW-TipsNTricks.guide (at Aminet).

The first being Turbo Print 6 (maybe even 7 ) now or Studio Printer 2.15 I've used the demo of Turbo Print 5 and it was great, but had problems with eps graphics on my Canon 610 printer. My friend has a HP 520 and Turbo Print worked really well for him. It even comes with a print que so that your Amiga will calculate all the printed data, before it sends it to the printer. It may be slow to create the printed document, but after that your printer should fly. Also this is great so that if you have a complicated graphic you want printed multiple times...you can print from the raw printer output, again speeding things up dramatically. The one thing you should be warry of, don't expect a printer driver to speed up your Amiga....only your printer. If your Amiga is fairly slow....the driver will make your printer fast and clear....but wont change the time it takes to create the printed documents that are sent to the printer.

The faster your processor, the faster it prints. That's because printing from FW is the same as printing a graphic; first the computer has to generate the graphic, then it sends it to the printer. Extra ram helps, too. Go to the Workbench while printing, and you can see it sucks up a lot of chip ram, practically all that you have. Although I haven't tried any of the Aminet drivers, I do have Studio Printer by Wolf Faust. I believe it and another commercial print driver package (forget the name) are probably your best bet. For black and white printing, Studio pretty much spits it right out of my HP 660C.

Heiko, I have tried to re-create your problem here. Can't simulate it. The best I can offer is to review the FW user manual back in the Appendix section. There is a write-up on EPS Clip Art. The section on Imported Graphics may give you a clue on you own settings. Let us know waht you find.

There are two types of eps, one with tiff-preview (named epsf) and one without. Use the ghostscript packet for printing or converting eps or ps files. Works fine.

Where do you get those eps-files from? I think that FW can handle epsf-files but not eps. I for example use X-Trace to change pics in epsf-files & get the same results. But if you open the pic-config by double-clicking on the picture you can change the screen-display for them by enable the full-display option. That should normally solve your prob I think. -- /*#Buy,#*/ /*#Norbert.#*/ /Feel the magic... *A M I G A*/ ---- to unsubscribe from fwml, send mail to "fwml_admin@thepentagon.com" with "unsubscribe finalwriter" in the message-body.

The problem is probably in EPS file type. Some of EPS versions doesnt have EPS PREVIEW. For example, the same happens IF you try to load EPS you just exported from DRAW STUDIO 2 into PageStream3. As their EPS doesn't use PREVIEW - IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO IMPORT IT PageStream :( I got just empty frame :( But - the strangest thing in all this is - I CAN LOAD wihtoutproblems EPS files I created using DrawStudio into FinalWriter97. I was trying to import EPS files from MATH-SCRIPT, the only program on Amiga that exports mathematics formulas in EPS with preview and it worked fine since I had twenty or more mathematic eps files loaded in FW97. When I reload document later - I NOTICED MORE THAN 15 formulas dissapears!!! And it was impossible to show them in FW97 correctly!!! :( So - FinalWriter97 must have a wierd BUG about EPS files :( If anyone can help, plz let me know. Maybe there is a patch that can fix some bugs?? The biggest BUG I found in FinalWriter is ABOUT MARGINS: I CAN NOT CHANGE MARGINS for example: Left margin to be 3 CM and right 1 CM!!! It shows me correctly but when printing I GOT REVERSED MARGINS (Leftmargin = 1 CM and right = 3!!!). Any help?

Its not only the display on screen. Its also a problem by printing the document. I thought he has used eps files by Adobe Illustrator (.ai). But thats not the solution of his problem.
