Recently I've acquired an NEC Silentwriter 2 laser printer (8ppm unit). Nice
printer, but I'm having one tiny problem: it seems that no matter what I do to
adjust the Horizontal (width) and Vertical (height) ratios for DPaint-III
output to the printer, I cannot seem to get non-jaggy diagonals.  I'm using a
"Union-Jack" type of pattern where the diagonals are 1 pixel wide as seen in
DPaint but the reproduction on the laser printer always has columns, rows and
diagonals with either fattened-up section or missing sections.  I had the same
kind of problem when I had my Raven/Panasonic 24-pin, but I could select the
width-height ratio to make the printout perfect.  But, I don't seem to be able
to get this result with my printer.  Help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
