A friend without network access is seeking a printer driver that will take advantage of the Epson LQ-510's 360x360 and bi-directional printing modes. He finds himself unable to take advantage of either of these capabilities using the EpsonQ driver on the 1.3 Extras disk. Please respond to me via email or to: Joshua Tabin, (217) 384-7722. Thanks. -- < Lionel ----------- Lionel D.

I think it's 360x180. oh well, it doesn't matter since you need a 360 dpi source to see the difference. things such as pagestream's compu-graphic and other fonts let you print at the highest resolution your printer is capable of.

Right... another disadvantage of EpsonQ is the single page mode. While printing graphics in single page mode, only 16pins of the printer head get used instead of 24 :-( According to the driver docs, this is done because of small power supplys used by some brands. I don't know a printer with this type of trouble, so it's really questionable why so many people must bother with this option. Also, for supporting Epsons cutting sheed feature a real single page mode is a must. Try those EpsonQPlus/Oki24Plus/Nec24Plus drivers for 360*360DPI and more... ----- Wolf Faust UUCP:cbmvax.commodore.com!cbmehq!cbmger!venus!wfaust Tel: (+49)69 5486556 FIDO: 2:243/43.5
