Some suggestions: Try using "Tall" (rather than "Tall Adjusted") in the "Page Setup" requester. Try using better looking fonts (in conjunction with the above). For example, try using Granite-15 or Marble-15 or Opal fonts. Oh, the "venetian blind effect" will go away with CBM's final release of Workbench 1.3–they've added a new feature to effectively synthesize pseudo 18 and 24 pin quality from some of the drivers, including the EpsonX. This is done by making two or more passes with the 9 pin print head, the second (and other) pass being stepped a half of a pin size (or so) down. The result still won't be as good as a true 24 pin printer (the pins will be larger for a coarser image for one thing), but will definitely be better than the 9 pin graphics output you are currently getting. As soon as the final WB 1.3 is out we will start shipping with this new stuff (our current license agreement only allows up to ship with the stuff we got a few months ago).
