- I have the same printer as you, and my advice to you is run, don't walk,
- and get the new HP drivers from FTP-OS2 / Watson / Whatever. There is
- one for OS2 and one for WINOS2. Both are well worth the time and effort
- to get them. The speed increase in WINOS2 is especially significant.
-
- I don't do much printing from OS2, as I have no real OS2 applications yet,
- so I can't comment much on the output quality of the OS2 drivers. However,
- I have printed quite a few pages of help files and they come out looking
- very sharp, although bitmaps and images do not appear in the printouts,
- only the text. The quality of output in WINOS2 is excellent. Now I just
- have to find some good-looking ATM fonts to replace the broken ones that
- are shipped with WINOS2.
-
- Also, I grabbed an OS2 HP printing utility on c.o.o.b yesterday and it is
- a marvel. It prints textfiles in landscape mode with an option of
- shading every other line, which looks _GREAT_ for program listings.
