Used LaserJets?
Jon, the LJ4 (PCL) driver should be available now in the printer driver
section here in AmigaUser. Look for HPLJ4.LZH in the libs.
Just received the PS SIMM module, but not my 8 Meg SIMM module. Think
this would slow me down? No way, using PS with the stock 2 megs of ram –
just have to use 300 dpi mode. The PS module is smart enough to go to 300
dpi if you don't have enough printer ram. Talk about a major speed
improvement over bitmap (raster) printing in both PPage and FCII. Still
have to get used to PS!
Back to PCL (bitmap/raster) mode for a moment. Loaded up a 1024×1200 24
bit IFF (actually all grey scale) in ProPage and scaled it to about a full
page. Took PPage about 2 hours to print it at 600 dpi (running an '020 at
14 Mhz). Takes about 22 minutes to print the same thing at 300 dpi.
Printing it in PS (at 300 dpi on the printer) only took a few minutes
(can't remember any more accurate than that). Now have to learn how to
set density (lines/inch) for a half decent image in PS. FCII doesn't seem
to have a density/angle control for PS printing.
