re: thick lines on an NEC LC890 postscript printer. Check your pen width
statement in the plot parameters. It should be about 0.001 for 300dpi. You
can vary this to bold up the lines if you want. Autodesk's driver for
Postscript has got to be the most inefficient driver around. It treats the
PS device exactly like a pen plotter. Any solid areas or thick lines are
created with multiple single strokes rather than using Poscripts built-in
line weight functions. This makes for large, slow plot files.
Are you an expert with NC890? I just got one and when trying to printplot in
HP LJ+ with 2M memory mode I can only do a fairly simple drawings. This
printer should have 3M of memory as it comes from factory?? I also tried to
plot in postcript mode but my Calcomp cable do not seem to work. Manuals do
not say anything about how to set baud rate etc. for postcript and my HP
cable did not work either. If you can help please leave your phone number,
NEC's support seems to be non existing.

Kauko, the communication parameters for the PostScript device should be 9600
baud, even parity, 7 bits, 1 stop bit, and XON/XOFF protocol. Use a MODE
statement like: MODE COM1:9600,E,7,1 and MODE LPT1=COM1. =SM=
