S1R x8648) writes: We recently obtained an HP LaserJet III. In comparing the output of the dvihp program with the output on an HP LaserJet II, the III's output is significantly and noticably better. It seems the improved resolution works within the context of the same printer commands. Has anyone else noticed this? Makes sense. The Resolution Enhancement stuff works, as I understand it, by doing pattern-recognition and transformations on the output bitmap just before it is printed; so it doesn't matter whether the bits came from graphics, a downloaded bitmap, downloaded font characters, or characters from a scalable font. -- - --------------------------------------------- Brendan Lynch - Software Development Sun Microsystems Boston Development Center EMail: internal: lynch@East external: blynch@Sun.COM
