1959.0. "PageSetter + 1.3 Pref drivers" by RAVEN1::EVERHART () Tue Dec 06 1988 13:52

    Hi.
    
    	A friend of mine has an old version of PageSetter from back
    when it first came out.  I think it is version 1.0.  He recently
    got a hold of the new printer driver stuff, and attempted to install
    the new drivers onto his PageSetter disk.  He copied over the
    system-configuration file, the drivers, and the Prefs directory.
    However, when he attempted to produce output with the program, it
    responded with "Incorrect Preferences Setting" or some such nonsense
    like that.  He tried several variations of this setup, including
    using the old system-configuration and preferences files.  It seems
    that PageSetter refuses to use the new drivers.  Does anyone know
    of any solution to this?

    The old Pagesetter (current version is 1.1e) requires that you set
    Preferences directly, then boot Pagesetter.
    
    Threshhold = 2
    Aspect = Horizontal
    Shade = B&W   (Note: You CANNOT print grey-scale with Pagesetter)
    Image = Positive
    Printer = Custom
    Custom Printer Name = [your printer here]
    Paper = Narrow Tractor
    Pitch = 10
    Spacing = 6
    Quality = Draft
    
    That ought to do it. It will not work (you'll get that error message
    you mentioned) if you have grey scale selected.
