Jefferson) Path: eniac.seas.upenn.edu!jeffe With some software combinations you can get around the 72dpi limit by creating your document at 4x normal size and then printing at 25% reduction. For example I want to edit Wingz graphics in Macdraw II, but the clipboard will only transfer a PICT (72dpi) image. I create the graphic at 400% scale, copy/paste, edit, and finally print at 25%. Life was so much simpler with the Imagewriter.. Hope this helps.. BTW this can _not_ be done with a Laser SC. For no apparent reason the reduction box is unavailable from within Macdraw2.

PICT images are not ANY resolution: they are object drawings, so that if you print to a laserwriter or any printer, the image will come out as clear as that printer will allow (laser, DW: 300dpi; Imagewriter: 72dpi; imagesetter: 1000dpi+). The particular program you are using may have this 400%, 25% problem (like Versaterm Pro), but PICT images do not fall in this category. The 72dpi images you are thinking of are MPNT or MacPaint images; but I don't think that WingZ produces these.-- *====*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===* Phil Ryan ANU Department of Physics and Theoretical Physics Canberra, Australia pfr654@csc.anu.oz.au phone:(61 6) 249 4678 fax:(61 6) 249 0741

I am considering purchasing a Deskwriter and Freedom of Press, and I have a couple of questions about this configuration. First, my Mac II is connected to a network via an ethernet card and MacTCP. To print on the deskwriter, will I have to go into chooser and switch to the internal network? Is there any way to print on it without having to change the network connection? Second, will this configuration support print spooling? ---------- Harry Plantinga planting@cs.pitt.edu
