How to get a Paintjet XL driver:

- copy your paintjet driver and rename it to paintjetXL
- read this paintjetXL file into filezap or any other fileviewing util.
- get to the first blok position 74 (hex)
- you should find the value 05 (hex) followed by A0 (hex)
- this is the number of pixels the printer can output in the X direction.
- change this value to the correct amount of pixels the XL can use.
- If you don't know what value to use use 08 (hex) and 70(hex)
  this is not the correct number but it will do in most cases.

Hope this helps,
