Larry, Yes, I did change it IMMEDIATELY! (it was about time anyway). Here's what I want to do. The ideal thing would be to rewrite the DumpRPort function of the printer.device. If I implemented the code at the printer driver level (it would have to be in render()), it would be A) too much of a pain in the a**, and B) it would not be printer independant leaving my code useful to myself and others only while (and if) they are lucky(?!?) enough to be one of the few proud owners of an Okidata Microline 84 Step 1 printer (it was given to me and is a true gem, but it's kind of old now, so I don't expect that many have it). This means that if I ever get any other printer, or a laser driver, this code will be entirely useless to me and I'll have to re-do it every time (no thank you). IMHO, the printer.device leaves something to be desired on B/W dumps (although I think it does a pretty good job on the shading) and should have been implemented with at least an option to smooth out a printout. Well, Commodore didn't do it, so I'm looking into whether it would be worthwhile for me to do it. Any comments/suggestions/ideas/mindblowing insights are very welcome. Happy New Year, Todd
