Solutions to Common Printing Problems

FONTS ARE PRINTING JAGGED
When your fonts print with jagged edges in JustWrite, it is usually because 
the "graphics resolution" is not set properly for your printer.  To check 
this, go to File, Printer Setup, and click the "setup" button.  On this 
screen, set your printer's graphics resolution to the highest possible setting 
(300 dpi for a laser printer).

JOBS ARE PRINTING SLOW
Most Windows users don't realize that Windows is controlling the actual 
printing of your job through it's print spooler, Print Manager.  Because 
Windows is a multi-tasking environment, if you are doing something else at the 
same time you are printing something, the print job will take longer because 
Windows has to divide its processing time between two things at once.  You 
can, however, set a higher priority for the Print Manager.  Just go to the 
Print Manager window, choose Options, and then choose the priority setting you 
want (try high priority).

THIRD PARTY WINDOWS FONTS DON'T SHOW UP ON LIST IN JUSTWRITE
JustWrite has the ability to copy the Windows printer driver locally, so that 
when you make changes to the setup (like changing from Portrait to Landscape) 
it only affects that document, and not your global Windows setup.  Therefore, 
when you add a font program to Windows, it is attaching information to the 
Windows printer driver, which JustWrite must re-read to obtain the new font 
information. 

To get JustWrite to re-read your printer information, go to File, Printer 
Setup, and unselect the current driver (by selecting a different driver from 
the list), click OK, then go back to File, Printer Setup, and re-select the 
old driver.

WINDOWS 2.0 PRINTER DRIVER MESSAGE
Sometimes in JustWrite you might get the message "The driver for this printer 
is for Windows 2.0.  Changes to its settings will be global."  Microsoft 
Corporation did not change many of their drivers when going from Windows 2.0 
to 3.0.  JustWrite is smart enough to know the difference between the drivers.  

This message does not mean that anything is wrong, it just means that any 
changes you make on the Setup screen will be global, because we can't copy the
2.0 drivers locally (see explanation in previous paragraphs).
