I am also prepared to help in any way I can. It does sound, however, as if
Jules has a much more useful setup! I don't have a scanner or immediate
access to a reference box using OEM drivers.

If helpul I could get hold of a windows machine using OEM drivers for
comparison and snail mail test prints or try to borrow a scanner..
