Barry,
The Epsons work just fine with the C= HPLaser drivers. No problem there.
The problem is with the software you're using. ProWrite is great for
screen display but its print quality with lasers is atrocious. I've heard
Excellence has similar problems. I have a couple of suggestions: 1) Get
FinalWriter or Final Copy. 2) Get Post1.7, it's in the libs here. I used
Post for some time with ProWrite with excellent results on my Epson. Post
is kind of a hassle to set up but once you've got it running it's great.
You'll need to print in post script to file in Prowrite and then run the
file through post's special hplaser executable. The only caveat may be the
amount of ram in your printer. Mine has 2 megs and handles most print jobs
I have.
