[comp.sys.mac] Dashed lines on a HP DeskWriter?

englandr@phoenix.Princeton.EDU (Scott Englander) (09/21/89)

I've heard that the DeskWriter doesn't implement the postscript (quickdraw?)
comments for dashed lines, and they come out solid.  Does anyone know of
a way around this, or if it will be fixed soon?

You've heard correctly.  The DeskWriter driver doesn't support the
PicDashedLine (sp?) pic-comment.  I don't know if support will be added in the
future for dashed lines.

I wonder how it will be supported with the new printing architecture (sys 7.0)?
