Sorry for the late reply. I had something working to print from PgS directly in the past, but nothing recently trying to incorporate airprint. I had actually given up using PgS seriously on the Amiga because of it, and reverted to using PgS on Windoze. With PJS's instruction on the PS > PDF conversion, I could go back to the Amiga, now.

@pjs

Thanks for walking me through that. Adapting your instructions for use with AmiGS, I got a nice printout with only some minor glitches in producing a smooth gradient circle. Fonts were good.

When trying to do it with the commandline parameters you wrote out, I kept getting the message: "**** Unable to open the initial device, quitting." I had read in the GS documentation that an assign was needed. So I put an assign for gs in the user-startup and rebooted. But I always get the same message.

But basically, I have the process I need now to print from PgS. Thank you!

Wow! I was gone for a week, and we have jumped from 0.20 to 0.36! Better yet, Airprint is now working for me.I have successfully printed a couple PDF's and some text.

But I confess that I skipped from a non-working 0.20 to the latest 0.36 without trying any of the in between releases.

Thanks you for all your work. I'm going to play around a little more now with Airprint.

BTW, I've noticed that several PDF's from Pagestream Amiga didn't print. But I have a LOT of windows created PDF's, and they seem to print fine.

Same results as I had with 0.20. Finds the correct printer, but can't do anything past that. Program interface is locked up and can't be closed.

If anything, the search for the printer seems to go faster.

I tried putting in the IP for the printer for a manual search, but the results are the same.

@mcleppa

Color Laser Jet Pro MFP M477fnw. Works with AirScan.

Can't find anything in settings to add the spooler dir.
Search finds the printer, but when I try to add it, it locks up the program.
I also get the message "Could not retrieve printer attributes"
No error log shows up in Ram:
When I try to read the settings file in Multiviewer, it gives the message "Not enough memory."

Thanks for climbing back into the work for Airprint. I believe this is even more crucial for the Amiga than Airscan.

@Gregor

The latest Windoze version of PgS also does this with its .ini file from time to time. I have an external (to the program files) copy of the .ini file to replace the junked file with when the original goes bad.

The biggest problem is trying to remember where Windoze hides that file.

Paul

@eliyahu,

Yeah, the old 4.1.5.6 68k version is what I have been using for a long time on my Amiga X5000. 5.0.3.3 never did do much on my A1-XE or on my X5000. . . until now.

I have a completely stock public version of 4.1 Final along with the enhancer 2.2 add-ons and the RX video driver. So if you are a beta tester, that might be the issue.

When I open it I get a Guru with unkown error type. I can click "Continue Program" and work for hours with it and not crash.

Issues? . . . won't remember Window locations when closing the program. Color palettes dont' seem to be working right. But basic stuff like page inserting and column linking are working. It finds all my fonts. Can do text wrapping around and inside of objects, drop caps, text line and fill, . . . and seemingly most of what I tried to throw at it. oh, and I can save a file in PgS format and send it over to Pagestream 5.1 on my Windoze machine and it opens up just fine.

I wish I could share this directly with Deron as an encouragement to finish up the Amiga version, but I cant find an email address for him.

Paul

This thread made me curious, so opened up PgS 5.0.3.3 and am playing around with it. . . quite successfully. I might add! I've NEVER gotten this far in the past. Some OS changes must have improved compatibility between OS 4.1 and PgS. All I've had so far is 2 DSI's and it's still running while I write this.

I really hope Deron is serious about what he replied to Michael Merkel about polishing up a current version for OS4. Pagestream is still one of my favorite programs, regardless of platform. (I own the Windoze version, too.) Between that and the upcominmg airprint, my X5000 could become much more regularly used.

@AmigaSociety

Yes, you're right. Sorry about the misdirection. It appears that the RadeonRX.chip IS now part of Enhancer. I got mine far enough back that I had to buy it seperately.

Paul

@AmigaSociety

Before you swap cards, you'll need to get the RadeonRX chip driver from Aeon and put it in your kickstart drawer, and then add the Line: "MODULE Kickstart/RadeomRX.chip" to your Kicklayout file.

Hopefully, someone else can chime in if I've forgotten something.

Paul

@AmigaSociety

Works here also, on X5000. Nice piece of software. Looking forward to airprint's development for easier, more consistent printing.

Paul

@sinisrus

Thanks, that did the trick.

Paul

@BillE

I disabled network startup and Zita and rebooted, but it's still complaining. Thanks for the idea.

Paul

@Hypex

This is after a fresh reboot.

I've tried both Amiupdate and the file from OS4Depot.

Paul

I know I've done this update in the past. But when I tried to run the update to 5.9, it keeps complaining that something is running which is using AmiSSL. I thought it was ZitaFTP, so I shut that down. But it still won't let me run the auto install. I can't think of any other "online" apps running. What else should I look for?

Paul

@AmigaOldskooler,

Thanks! I always enjoy looking through your monthly reports.

Paul

@ktadd

I received that same warning from Comcast, but when I used their test email link with Simplemail, it came back saying everything was OK. Are you up to date with AmiSSL?

On another note with Simplemail, do you or others get an ISI after collecting new emails from an imap account? It doesn't happen all the time, but maybe 80% of the time, and I have to reboot, after which Simplemail functions normally again.

Oddly enough, my RX550 shows up on the Workbench header and in Sysmon as a Polaris 12.

You're right, .pls only. It doesn't give an option for m3u.

My next step is to try putting both on a stick and and see what will work in our car.

That rings a bell from several years ago with some different sound files. I might try that.

In the meantime, I tried creating the m3u in Windows Media Player by dragging in the entire directory for Blind Faith, rather than the individual track files. Voila! Working m3u created for use on the Amiga now!

Thanks for your reply.
