[comp.sys.mac.system] Epson printer drivers - colour?

a_dent@fennel.cc.uwa.oz.au (01/03/91)

I've heard there are some nice shareware Epson printer drivers.  Does anyone
know if they provide true colour support?

I currently use a Grappler LQ with a Star printer, and it supports the colour
model of the Imagewriter (II & LQ) which is the original 8 colours.

Given that this is a 180dpi printer, I'd like to see a printer driver which
produced true dithered and over-printed colour.  After all, this is nearly
2/3 the resolution of some of the common colour printers so reasonable quality
should be attainable.

Also, do the shareware drivers print fully-justified text properly?  The 
Grappler doesn't as it does some scaling down from the 216 dpi of the 
Imagewriter LQ.

Thanks in Advance
