HP 550C
The development done by HP is confidential and they won't tell what
exactly they have done in their drivers. I didn't had much time spending
with that new stuff yet. But from my impression what they have done, I
strongly doubt we can do similar things on the Amiga.
The main problem is, on the Amiga the driver doesn't really know what he's
printing. On Windows, the driver can know when he's printing text, lines,
boxes, images and that's what this new HP routines seems to be based on.
So I'm afraid, on the Amiga we will need a different solution. I'm working
on something new since 8 months and that stuff will become available in
Studio V2. Let's see what the future brings…
