mac problem solved

it was just yesterday when i finally decided to go down to IT Care to solve my printing problem. i thought it was just a simple problem somewhere and it  was just on my side that i couldn't detect it. however, the problem was more complicated than i thought.

two IT Care staff attended to my problem and tried solving it. however, they couldn't really find the solution. luckily, there was this passerby who offered me the advice to go to the mac forum to seek help... and so finally, i managed to find the solution to my problem there

the solution :
as leopard is relatively new, there are quite a handful of printers that are incompatible with it and the official website of the respective printers have yet to offer the new patch for it. anyway, a dummy printer settings which is compatible for leopard is set up. so the print preview can be seen correctly and accurately according to what i want. from there, i save the settings to PDF format. With the PDF format, i will then able to open it with the reader and print out using my printer.

it may seem troublesome but what to do.. it still beats buying a new printer. haha.. mac is too gd for the printer i guess.

hope this will help other mac users who are facing similar problems.
