The proper ghetto way would be to install Photoshop as a trial for 30 days then reformat your computer after trial expires and do it all over again. Lol
Funny

No. You need a postscript printer, which can be downloaded free (a pdf printer will work) and any DTP programme. Try Inkscape or GIMP.

Install a postscript or pdf printer (try pdf995 or Cutepdf or AdobePS), install Ghostscript & Ghostview.
Print to the postscript printer so that you have a file on disc.
open in GV & print.
Have you tried makepdf and adobepdf? Are all of these the same or are their better printers?
This is all lingo that I don't know at all

Ghost script is a RIP emulator of sorts. You need to install a postscript printer/driver on your system. You then print your art to file using the postscript printer and its properties. When thats done open ghostview and then print the saved file to your inkjet printer to achieve halftones etc. Yes its a mouthful and a learning curve and its far from perfect but it does work.

Whoa. No attitude here but thanks. I just learned something very useful even if I do still use a laserjet.

Afeter I pay my mortgage and taxes I will for sure get a R1400 blackmax unless anyone has a better idea. wink wink
Please explain everything like I'm a 2 year old. Step by step literally, cuz I'm confused.
