	from the V1.3 Enhancer manual......

EpsonQ (drives all Epson 'Q' series (24 pin) printers)
Density	XDPI	YDPI	XYDPI
1	90	180	16200
2	120	180	21600
3	180	180	32400
4	360	180	64800
5	same as 4
6	same as 4
7	same as 4

Nec_Pinwriter (drivers P5/P6/P7/P9/P2200)
Density	XDPI	YDPI	XYDPI
1	90	180	16200
2	120	180	21600
3	180	180	32400
4	120	360	43200
5	180	360	64800
6	360	180	64800
7	360	360    129600

	Note:  The two drivers are IDENTICAL with the exception of the
360 YDPI support in the Nec driver.  When the EpsonQ driver was written,
360 YDPI was not supported by any Epson product (it now is on some of their
nwer high end printers).
