Digital BW, The Print

Evan-

I'll have to try printing with the 1280 driver again tonight.

I did learn something terrific, however. If you just change the name 
of the 1270 to 1280 and use the Piezo driver set at "better" rather 
than "best" (which on a 1280 is 2880 dpi)you can make an excellent 
print. (setting at best, which I had tried in the past, doesn't work 
at all... Print sizing, etc are waaaay off). 

I only ran one print through using this just to see if it would work 
and then had to quit...but it looked great. Will print a step test 
tonight to confirm.
