Actually it is not easier. It is much much worse. It creates virtual ports etc.
Finally talked to a tech and it was a waste of time. At this point every time I restart windows all new ports and printers are created, the ports get all confused, i lose advanced printing options so I cannot set correct film size on and on. I am left to using PDF exports through Corel and importing into FM, very day i have to delete all the extra printers and juggle the ports around till I find the one that FM works with. Its a massive hassle and totally uncalled for. Windows decided to do something against my interests all on its own and now I am stuck with this pain. On top of that my software for the plotter is not working either, i am getting unable to speak to the plotter errors. Not a single thing ever has changed or been touched with that software but windows knows whats best I guess. And to ice the cake something is causing massive memory leaks and I am forced to reboot constantly just to be able to operate 386-486 level woohoo.
Ditching the MAC BTW, going to look at other RIPS or see what kind of deal I can get through Fast Rip. Still have our first copy of FR which we upgraded to FM when Fresner went under, nope might go right back to Fresner lol.
