- Hmmm, I did this and I had many problems with it: the screen shot was a
- very little picture. Changing the resolution of the printer driver (HP
- Classic) to 150 dpi shows no difference: the same little picture. I
- still have white horizontal lines in my printed screen shots.
-
- By the way: printing from WIN-OS/2 shows NO problems!

- These problems with the Deskjet+ drives my crazy !
