Gedit in Linux works like a champ. For me, in two installations Gedit in Windows XP works well except that it will not print properly on HP LaserJets or Toshiba's laser printers. It will make a 90 page project out of two pages of text composed in gedit. It puts one or two confused lines of text at the top of a sheet and then ejects the page.
Any ideas?
As Brian already mentioned in the comments, it might be a driver Problem. I´ve gotten the same issue with HP printers at work. Except in some other office applications like Office 2k3. Try changeing the driver from PCL5e to PCL6 or, if that doesn´t work PostScript. I don´t know yet, how to say which driver is needed before trying, but everytime I´ve got this problem this solution worked.
P.S.: if this is the correct answer, please vote up Brians comment ;-) it should be his reputation for mentioning it first.
You could look at jEdit:
Some of jEdit's features include:
- Written in Java, so it runs on Mac OS X, OS/2, Unix, VMS and Windows.
- Built-in macro language; extensible plugin architecture. Dozens of macros and plugins available.
- Plugins can be downloaded and installed from within jEdit using the "plugin manager" feature.
- Auto indent, and syntax highlighting for more than 130 languages.
- Supports a large number of character encodings including UTF8 and Unicode.
- Folding for selectively hiding regions of text.
- Word wrap.
- Highly configurable and customizable.
- Every other feature, both basic and advanced, you would expect to find in a text editor.
