- Well, that's interesting, Roger, because I've got some nice grey scales out of
- my HP DeskJet Plus using FSM GDOS. Now this wasn't anything real complex,
- mind you, and I don't mean to imply that an inkjet will ever compare with a
- good quality laser, but they _can_ do some grey scales (at least mine can).
- If you have it, try the test print program that comes with FSM GDOS. You
- can print a nicely shaded checkerboard using it with a DeskJet. Not that
- everyone needs or wants to mess with GDOS at all, mind you.

- Maybe it has more to do with the printer driver than the printer itself, eh?
