0 Guest Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 It's an issue with OS 10, not VW. Hopefully this will be addressed in OS 10.4, but there is no confirmation until the final OS 10.4 is released publically. You can check mark print as raster to resolve the problem.

0 Walther in Europe ( Mac us Posted December 18, 2004 Author Share Posted December 18, 2004 Thanks, Katie I hope Tiger will do better as you told. We will try it out with raster checked on or print from OS 9.22. Quote Link to comment
0 mike m oz Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Katie You people should not be sitting on your backsides 'hoping' that Apple will fix the problem with Tiger. If Apple will not commit to fixing the problem then NNA must! To not do so would be commercial suicide. This is a real issue which needs to be addressed immediately. If NNA, with its Apple user base, cannot get Apple to realise ithe gravity of this problem then you have to solve the problem yourselves. If this means developing and/or buying your own printer drivers then do it. This is like the issue with the OIP delay which Apple won't guarantee to fix - we users don't care what the problem is we just want it fixed. The ball is in your court NNA! Deal with it.

0 Guest Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 We have found a way around the problem - the Print as Raster option work around the problem. Quote Link to comment
