There is a driver called "EpsonQPlus" (there is also a '030 version available...). The latest Revision is 2. This driver is much faster than the normal WB EpsonQ driver and supports more things like 360*360DPI color graphic dumps... I'll send you this revision by E-mail... For those with Star and Oki compatible printers, I have a special version for them here (There is also a canon 48 inkjet driver...). These versions are specialy adopted for those printers, so you can expect, they do everything possible by AmigaDOS. I'm also working on a driver version with run-length-encoding and greater pinter buffer (EpsonQPlus Rev 2 uses up to 64Kb buffer). Tough, my work eats up all my free time so don't expect this very soon... (let's hope for x-mas ;-) Specialy on '030 this new driver will give you normal speed increases up to 50% (I'm not selling this driver, so this is not a 'special measured peak')! >Robert Huebner huebner@aerospace.aero.org ---- Wolf Faust cbmvax!cbmehq!cbmger!venus!wfaust Tel: +(49)69-5486556 FIDO: 2:243/43.5
