I was able to find a GhostView manual in PDF format at the GNU site, I think. It had a discussion of what printers went with what code. You aren't going to get PhotoRET II on a DJ890. It may only be 300x300. The source code is there and you can download the HPCL commands at http://www.hp.com/cposupport/eschome.html. This is their "Customer Care" support page and you do a query on "deskjet command". One of the postscript files had a fill and the hi-res had lines in it. I think 150x150 worked all right. There was a patch but the project had run out of money and I didn't try it to see if it filled the lines in. -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
