@xenic If old programs don't create proper postscript I don't think it's an AmiGS problem. Correct, that's what I said. But new programs like MS Word donnot create proper postscript files either... it's not a bug, as I thought beforehand. It turned out, during this thread, to be a problem with lot o...

@xenic Well, I guess if your Postscript file is properly printed, you won't have a problem (so either via a proper ppd, printerdriver etc.). Nevertheless I didn't manage to create proper PS Files through Final Writer and other older programs. So it's more a question to make AmiGS and AmiPdf more fle...

By the way, the same problem occurs, when printing a pdf from Os4.1 included pdf viewer (using "letter" format). This is still really annyoing and must be fixed for the sake of good user experience.

O.k. got that bastard ;-) indeed it is not a bug... it is a missing feature or something handled in an inconvinient way. Seems that PageStream for PPC /MichaelMerkls Version is the only one which can create AmiGS compatible files in DIN A4 papersize . All other programs including Microsoft Word and ...

@abalaban There are quiet a few versions of PagesStream around...so Michael probably got a different PageStream Version + different ppd + different Postscriptprinterdriver. However, it would be interesting to see what the difference between our 2 Postscriptfiles are (both generated via PGS). We may ...

This is strange... Indeed, MichaelMerkels File is displayed as A4 (!) and can be printed. One the one hand it boils down to the file (even though I did not manage to create a Postscript file in A4 as Michael Merkel did - tried on all sorts of MS Windows based products and on Amiga stuff. On the othe...

Versions/Setup (sorry forgot...) X1000 running update6 and used live updater c couple of days ago AmiGS is 1.16 Postscriptfile(s) I checked several Postscript files, rechecked it, using a PagesStream PS file. I always used build in PS (file) drivers for printing. I did not print via Workbench Posts...

I brought this forward on german OS4welt.de a long time ago, and "Cyborg" confirmed this is a real bug. So I reopen it here: Use any "DIN A4" Size (210x297mm) Postscript Document (e.g. print from MS Word with DPS PS2file driver; print from FinalWriter into a Postscriptfile etc......

I did not read through all this, but I have got UBUNTU here. I did not had any problems installing it. I just made sure that a) Keyboard is plugged in the right USB port (as described in setup guide) plus b) it is NOT an Apple/MAC Keyboard. A very cheap simple TRUST Keyboard did the trick !

@Raziel Well, I have got a complete SambaInstall here on WinXP/X1000 upd.6 (however, didn't fire AmiUpdate up for while though...). Samba Install was done via Samba4Idiots guide and I did not encounter any problems... up to now . Besides not beeing able to rename files on Amigashares via WinXP. Got ...
