Dominick, for all around control and quality of the DJ500 I'd recommend the
DJHelper program (and driver), published by Creative Focus. I noticed it
advertised in the Creative ad in the current AW (they used to sell just
direct).
Very nice driver for many purposes. It has four 'preferences' screens….
1) page layout (margins, type of paper, etc), 2) font control (incl all
builtin fonts plus support for downloadable fonts), 3) graphics (including
customizable gray scale conversions) and 4) a font control (ie. download
fonts, etc) screen. All these options control the driver, which ends up
turning out some of the finest b&w printouts you've seen. IMHO.
I certainly haven't tried all the other DJ drivers avail, but this seems
top-quality to me. Full control over your DJ, just what I want.
Creative Focus also sells disks of converted LaserJet fonts for use in the
DJ series, if you have a memory cartridge. Neat stuff.
