- Hello:
-
- We have a(n) HP Paintjet XL 300 with a(n) hpgl2 cartridge
- connected to our IBM RISC 6000's. We use the Paintjet to get
- color prints of objects created with the CAEDS cad package.
- The problem is that the quality of the prints is no where close
- to what it should be. When we talk to the IBM people they tell
- us "HP has to make the proper driver for it", when we talk to
- the HP people we get "IBM should make the driver".
- Presently we are using the xwd command to create screen dumps.
- Converting the xwd format to hpgl format with the help of the pbmplus
- package, and then send it to the printer. This makes life hard
- on users for they have to change the background color to white, and
- by doing this they will not be able to read the numbers off of the
- print.
-
- Can anybody out there help us to get better quality prints?
