Re: [Omniprint-user] Problem with HP-LaserJet_III

[Terry B. <te...@be...>]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the info, changing the hardcoded value worked when it was
positive
but not when negative (we needed to shift the page to the left). However,
we
can live with the shift (amout 5mm).

Thanks for the help.

By the way, we are developers of X-Windows accessability software for
visually impaired people (screen magnification and screen reading with
speach and braille support). We are looking to port this software to Linux.

I know IBM is getting involved in Linux, is there anyone at IBM
who may be interested in this, perhaps with funding ?

Some info is on http://www.beam.ltd.uk/xvil
