TOPIC ---------------------------------------------
A user is having problems printing to a LaserWriter from AppleWorks (on an
Apple IIGS). He can print on letter-size paper but not legal. He has a
legal tray and has set the paper length to Legal in AppleWorks. Does
AppleWorks on an Apple II support legal printing from a LaserWriter?
DISCUSSION ---------------------------------------------
If you print in an AppleWorks 2.0 and ProDOS 8 environment, the ImageWriter
Emulator (IWEM) does not support legal-size paper; it supports only
letter-size paper. IWEM is not alone; the LaserWriter Diablo 630 emulator
does not support paper lengths longer than 11 inches.
However, if you try this in AppleWorks on an Apple IIGS with GS/OS environment,
everything works smoothly and with the desired results. In addition, the
user can select various fonts and styles in AppleWorks for more pleasing
results.
