- Has anyone managed to get EmTeX to drive an Epson LQ1050 at the
- 360x360 density successfully? (presumably the LQ850/1000/800 would
- be equivalent as far as this goes).
-
- I can't seem to convince dvidot to not put in an extra line-feed
- between passes on a given line; so the output text looks like:
- This is line 1 [ every 'odd dot' ]
- This is line 1 [ every 'even dot', I assume]
-
- This is line 2
- This is line 2
-
- and so forth. I've tried fiddling with the lqh.dot file, but I
- don't really understand what's going on well enough to do much more
- than fiddle, and trying the /s+ or /s- switches gets me nowhere.
-
- (I've set the relevant dip switch to the right place; as far as I
- can tell, it's not the printer itself, as printing using the lql
- driver and 'shrinking' the fonts to 180x180 works fine -- it's just
- that, having spent all that time building the 360x360 fonts, I hate
- to waste all that effort -- and, I suppose, the quality will be
- lower.)
-
- Thanks in advance.
