	The Nec-Pinwriter driver is identical to the EpsonQ driver with only
two exceptions:

a) it supports 360x360
b) it DOES NOT support color

	so if you want to do 360x360 b&w or grey-scale dumps, use the
Nec_Pinwriter driver.  BTW, due to the fact that printing in color with
360x360 would completely contaminate your ribbon I don't recommend that
you do this (even if you could).
