- I am using GNUPLOT 2.0 on an IBM-PC clone and trying to get the best
- possible print-outs of graphs on my Canon BJ-10e printer. The BJ-10e
- has two control modes - the IBM Proprinter X24E emulation mode and the
- Canon BJ-10e control mode. I have been using the Proprinter mode.
- The only two printer drivers that I've had any success with are the
- "epson_60dpi" and "tandy_60dpi" (which I believe are effectively
- identical drivers when compiled for the PC). I have tried numerous other
- drivers included in the 2.0 release, all resulting in various forms
- of garbage. In particular, I was expecting the "epson_lx800" to work
- for me, as "set term" says it supports PROPRINTER.
-
- Since the BJ-10e has a maximum resolution of 360dpi, I would very much
- like to do better than the 60dpi I am currently printing. Any help
- along these lines would be greatly appreciated.

- Thanks,
