Did you try downloading and installing JPRINT? 2)----------------------------------- -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: JSTOR printing Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2001 18:27:12 -0500 From: Lori Thornton <lthornton@cn.edu> Reply-To: lthornton@cn.edu We also have had trouble with JSTOR printing. Originally we were using the JPrint program. About a year ago, we began to have trouble with things printing correctly from JPrint. We sought the advice of the JSTOR people who suggested that we try the Adobe Acrobat printing option. This worked fine on most of the PCs; however, it did not work well on Macs. The main computer we had dedicated to JSTOR was a Mac, so you can imagine that this was quite a problem for us. We tried every solution that we could come up with from both a hardware and software standpoint, including increasing the memory in the printer. Nothing seemed to work. We finally removed the Mac and replaced it with a PC. We are still not happy with the inconsistency of printing; however, we have found that the PDFs generally work better for us than JPrint. Many times staff persons have had to print the articles off their computers for students. Lori Thornton, Asst.
