So far I'm caught up with you. I found how to setup the printer and I have my various drivers set in there (Curiously, the driver that's supposed to print up to 1440dpi can't be changed in StarOffice's configuration to anything past 300, but that's another issue). Anyway, after putting in the drivers, Star Office still botches up envelopes by printing them at the wrong orientation and then printing numerous pages of gobbledygook until I turn the printer off and delete the queue. Too bad, Star Office would be great for my needs if it weren't for this one problem. Thanks for any input you can give me! Karen

Do you have an Epson 660 too? I'd like to try WP8. I was just wanting the convenience of a total office suite, though.

It prints The linux version of SO does support native postscript printers only. "generic" refers to ghostscript, which emulates a generic postcript printer. So it wouldnt help to choose another driver in SO, the Stylus Color 660 is Esc-P2. There are two ghostscript drivers for the Epson 660: The Driver for any Stylus Color and the driver for Stylus color 500. The latter is reported to have problems with color printing. Also other b/w Esc-P2 drivers possibly would work. Look to http://www.suse.de,choose english language and look up the hardware database for Esc-P2 printers. It might help to try another ghostscript driver. HTH. Peter
