- The Epson driver that comes with Apple's System software is fine if you only
- print straight text (i.e., from AppleWorks Classic, ProTERM, etc.), however,
- if you're printing out items from AppleWorks GS using fonts, or anything using
- graphics, using the LQ driver from the Harmonie package will allow you a
- *much* higher resolution. I believe that the standard Epson driver uses a
- 60x60 dpi resolution to work with any Epson. The Harmonie Epson LQ driver
- will allow one to choose anywhere from 60x60 dpi (low resolution, high speed),
- or up to 360x360 dpi (lower speed, but much higher resolution). When you
- consider that your average Laserprinter only prints at 300x300 dpi, you get an
- idea what an improvement this can give you... :)
- It just depends on how you use your printer, and if you want or need the
- better resolution...
