	We have a SparcPrinter installed recently. It is supposed to be
able to print at 300 dpi or 400 dpi. My first question is how do I use the
400 dpi capability? I used dvips -D 400 to produce a PostScript file and
then sent it to the SparcPrinter by using lpr. The result was actually
worse than that at 300 dpi. I guess there should be an option to print it
at 400 dpi.

	I understand that at our installation, the SparcPrinter uses
OPENWIN on a Sparc II to do the rastering. My other question is can I use
the rastering to preview PostScript files on screen? PageView is not very
satisfactory to me. It sometimes shows a PostScript file upside down.
Fortunately, it doesn't happen to the printer.

Thanks!
