Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] poor output from Eagle

2010-01-10 by Andrew Mathison

Hi Stefan Trethan 

  you could be right, but I have a feeling that the problem is from the printer driver. It could also be the printer firmware, so I would recommend checking the internet for updated drivers and firmware.....it may be a combination of both even -old driver, new firmware or the opposite....

  If they are still available, even trying older versions may provide a fix....as it is not completely unknown for problems to be added as an update......

  If it looks good on the screen, then I would definitely suspect the printer. Another printer from a different manufacturer may provide some helpful  infos.....

  I did not see a mention as to which version of Eagle is in use.......!!

  Best wishes for 2010

  Could be an OS X specific problem then?

  Best to ask Cadsoft support about it, they reply timely, even if it is
  just a no can do sometimes.
  (Things are gonna stay like they've been, in terms of support, what
  whith Farnell buying them and all.)
