Any other resolution? > Someone asked a similar question recently. The gimp-print project was initially set up to support these printers (including the stylus photo 700), and they seem to support 1440 and 720 dpi. You should be able to use it from gimp. I've never used it, but the page says At this point, I prefer the output of my driver in many ways to the output of the Windows driver. I consider the color fidelity and tonal characteristics to be better, at the expense of increased graininess with my driver (part of what the Windows driver appears to do is avoid printing altogether in areas where grain is likely to show up). They have a Ghostscript driver too. http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
