1.0.2 and beyond printing

#1 Post by figueroa »

Would it make sense to consider printing text files through enscript rather than AbiWord?

Well, Puppy is all about being small, and we make use of whatever is already there, at least, as much as possible.

I am assuming that a remastered Puppy without Abiword would not be able to print text files ?

Abiword is still no-where near as compatible as textmaker (unfortunately), the test docs I have (complex docs from where I work), load perfectly on textmaker but are seriously screwed under Abiword.

I'll take upon myself to look into an alternative to Abiword for rendering the text to PS ;-)
