- Strange,
-
- I've got the 4072 Execjet driver, and it allows me 360x360. I
- use a BJ10ex
- and I've not lost characters from it yet in text mode -
- graphics mode is
- fine too.
-
- The printer should be set to proprinter mode to use the
- driver by the way.
- Set the "line feed" option to 'none' on the driver.
-
- The driver *is* at hobbes, in the downloads directory if my
- memory serves me correctly (and it may well not do !)
- filename os24072.exe.
- It's also available from the Lexmark BBS (606-232-5653 in the
- USA)
-
-
- The win-os2 driver for the 4072 is on the printer drivers
- disk number 3 in
- your OS/2 package (3.5" disks).
-
- The IBM4072 is a 'clone' of the Canon BJ300 incidentally.
- There may be a new
- driver from Lexmark soon as they have released a printer
- based on the BJ20 -
- the IBM 4070 - look out for that driver too.
