Does anyone here have any > experience either good or bad with either the 7000 or 7004? The 7000 and 7004 work. I have the 7000. HOWEVER, the printer is capable of printing many, I forget how many, lines in parallel (per pass of the head across the paper) AND the bjc800 driver does NOT take advantage of this. THUS it takes "weeks" to print out a page one line per pass of the print head. I do not know if this has changed in GhostScript 5.5, but the docs don't mention any change. -- Brian Litzinger <brian@litzinger.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
