Trade News | 27 Aug 2009 : A steep decline in shipments of printer, copier and multifunction (MFP) products in the first half of 2009 is likely to spur vendors and resellers to concentrate on managed print services.

to choose the X700 DCP from Xerox. ‘It can be time-consuming to calibrate colours for each and every print job,’ says Ligtenberg, ‘and the X700 DCP makes it far quicker and simpler to achieve that.

Hey Art, I can assist you on this answer. First Konica Minolta drivers do not work well with Publisher. I have some documentation on this issue that I will have to find scan and send to you. What version of Publisher? This is an issue with Publisher 2000 and 2003....it since has been corrected in 2007. I have successfully helped end users with this same situation.

Ok, its been ahile for me on this one. My customer is using Timberline accounting software and he needs to print forms. I am under the impression that we can direct the forms to a printer.
