I have a printer which emulates an Epson, but most Epson drivers do not use the quadruple density graphics mode which my printer has. I have tried hacking the printer.sys file... I can get the printer into the correct mode, but the driver only sends enough data for 960 dots per inch, whilst I want 1920. A posting of this files structure would be of great help to me - output from timeworks is really horrible, I'm sure my printer can do better.

I have a printer which emulates an Epson, but most printer.sys is a program. VDI-Drivers are programs that are loaded upon open_workstation and called as a function dispatcher to draw graphic primitives. They are neither configuration-files nor just hardcopy drivers.
