First of all I like to explain the most significant difference
between the printer drivers, so you can use the table in the
buttom to find the best driver for your printer. Please read this
info! Most of the drivers might work on your printer, but there
are great(!) differences in performance.
(1) EpsonQPlus Revision 4
This driver needs a "Legal" character set (ESC-R-64)
for printing « and ⌐; Also shadow print is available.
White areas on graphic dumps are allways converted to
ESC-$-n if possible.
This printer driver uses ESC-+-n as n/360inch command
(2) Star24Plus Revision 4
White areas on graphic dumps are allways converted to
ESC-$-n if possible.
This printer driver uses ESC-+-n as n/360inch command
(3) PanasonicPlus Revision 4
White areas on graphic dumps are converted to
ESC-$-n if
a.) the white area is greater than 2inch and we're doing
360XDPI graphic dumps
b.) it's the white left border
c.) ESC-$ is used wherever possible while doing
<360XDPI graphic dumps.
This printer driver uses ESC-+-n as n/360inch command
(4) Oki24Plus Revision 4
White areas on graphic dumps are converted to
ESC-$-n if
a.) the white area is greater than 2inch and we're doing
360XDPI graphic dumps
b.) it's the white left border
c.) ESC-$ is used wherever possible while doing
<360XDPI graphic dumps.
This printer driver uses ESC-[-n as n/360inch command!
(5) Nec24Plus Revision 4
White areas on graphic dumps are allways converted to
ESC-$-n if possible.
This printer driver uses FS-3-n as n/360inch command
(6) Canon48Plus Revision 4
A BJ130 inkjet driver...
Now how do you use this info:
- First look into the table and get the possible drivers for your
printer. Sorry... You still have to find the fastest driver by
yourself. I have asked for testers on UseNet, but nobody seems to
care. Shame on you all!
- Testing should begin with the lowest driver number! For testing
extract the Test.lzh archiv with "lharc e test.lzh" and execute
the resulting script with "execute test". Every "test" archiv is
specific to the printer driver, so you have to extract it
everytime you switch teh driver!
- Some scripts print various text in different styles. This
gives you an easy way to find out, if the driver is the right
choice.
- After this, the script prints a graphic. The graphic is dumped
using the ESC-$-n command. If your printer get's ugly slow for
this printing: this is not your driver, except you like waiting
;-)
- Now look into you printer manual to find out, which n/360
command is supported by your printer. If your printer support
both, ESC-+ and FS-3, you better choose one of the ESC-+ drivers!
- in case no driver works with your printer: see the "Readme"
on "Special things to note"! Perhaps I should mention, if your
problem is ESC-$ related: get an old driver revision <4 wich does no
ESC-$. Anyway you should contact me, so I can do a faster version
for your printer ;-)
- in case you found the right driver, don't forget the Readme for
more info! And if possible... send me a note/hints so I can update the
list/driver ;-)
