Frequently asked questions about Turboprint 7

Updates

• Information on updates is available here .

Printers, that are not yet supported but can be used with existing drivers

• Canon BJC 2100: use Canon BJC 2000 driver

• If the message "Can't compile script" appears, you are using an old version of the installer software. This may happen if you use the "MCP" utility. Please switch off MCP before you install TurboPrint.
• The message "Couldn't create file or drawer in line..." may occur if there is a write protected file on your hard disk which can't be replaced. In this case, please delete the Turboprint drawer before installing TurboPrint as an update.
• Installation on a Draco computer: It is necessary to carry out the "personalization" procedure on a regular Amiga, because the draco can't write to Amiga floppy disks. You may e.g. install (and personalise) TurboPrint on another Amiga first.

• PicassoIV / Picasso96: If you use an older version of the Picasso96 driver software, you may have problems when printing from applications (e.g. dark green background instead of white). Please get the current Picasso96 upgrade.
• Wrong print margins or additional form feeds: It is necessary to set the margins in your application first. Pagestream, Final Writer and Wordworth have settings for the unprintable margins of your printer. If you own an HP DeskJet printer, you should additionally set the top text margin to zero (in Turboprefs). Another solution is to use the application's postscript driver in combination with Ghostscript (see the Turboprint manual).

• Yes, please use the "Deskjet-Utility" (drawer "Turboprint/Extra").
