 These are some possible reasons for it not working:
 
 1. There is a problem with the page. What is the URL?

The page is not correct. It is using the Windows-1252 encoding, but doesn't 
specify that in the headers or in the HTML. NetSurf's default is Latin-1, 
which doesn't have the Euro.

 The equivalent HTML-code is:

 br30,#150; bis 45,#150; #128; pro Person und Tagbr

The page has actual characters, not entities like this. The meaning is 
different. HTML entities always refer to Unicode numbers, irrespective of the 
page encoding. So #150; or #128; will never work, because Unicode has 
nothing there. NetSurf displays them as

00 and 00
96 80

respectively (hexadecimal).

Ah - that's the point! Thank you very much for the information. I'll
inform the webmaster.

 None of this is meaningful. How do I preceed from here please

You need to download the previous copy of the binaries, which included a
copy of !Printers. The most recent binary only contains update files and
not the full application.

Having said that, I've encountered weird redraw problems with !Printers
1.73 so I've gone back to the previous version to avoid crashing the
machine. :-(

 AFAIAA, it works (except to PostScript printers).

  The current release has the same help instructions as previous
  issues about lack of Font Manager and printer drivers support -
  there is a comment about a patch for non-Postscript printers that
  has been submitted to RISC OS Open Ltd.

 See revisions 4.11 and 4.12, here:

Thanks for that information - will investigate supplied web pages and
report back.

Some people have reported success in printing to a non-PostScript 
printer using the latest release of !Printers; I don't have one of 
these, so I still can't :-(

With best wishes,

Peter.

Thanks for that important information - I will have a look. Re-draw
problems - this doesn't sound good :-((

I need to speak to you about getting FileCrypt to work. I'll contact
you separately on this one.
