- With one exception, I have exactly this configuration, and encounter
- nothing like the problems you cite. Takes me about 1-2 minutes to
- print a complex graph at 300 dpi. I do, however, have a 256k memory
- expansion cartridge in the printer. But I find it hard to believe
- that the memory card would account for the difference you describe.
- Besides, why would it work under 6.03 and not 6.04?
-
- I did some playing with the deskjet driver in SAS/Graph, and am
- willing to send you a copy. But I don't think that's the problem.
- Have you contacted tech support?--
