Frank: you should be able to print at 300 dpi from PgS on the LJ4, unless they changed something seriously, which I doubt, since we haven't had any problems reported by our users. However, printing at 600dpi via parallel with a graphics dump as done by PageStream or Professional Page, would be too slow unless you ran it overnight. The parallel port is just such a bottleneck. It would be 4 times as slow as the LJ3 at 300 dpi. Something else to consider: you know the problem with Compugraphic fonts dropping out at large sizes in PageStream? That would happen at half the size at 600 dpi I am told. I know ProPage has a simliar restriction, but I'm not sure if it would be affected by this as well. If their restriction is due to the same limitation of the agfa code, then it would be. For DTP, the LJ4M is a better deal, albeit much more expensive. This one has PostScript builtin. It's still a great deal for a 600 dpi PostScript printer. Michael Soft-Logik
