Digital BW, The Print

No special hacking needed - after installing the 1290 "printer" 
(software/driver) go to the properties of the printer and under the 
Ports  tab, select the port (e.g. LPT1) to which the printer is 
connected.  This automatically sends 1290 print jobs to that 
port/printer.

I haven't seen any improvements in results printing on the 1280 with 
a 1290 driver.  I've used Paul Roark's 1290 curves on the 1280 and my 
wedges aren't any better (still get some lack of linearity in the 70-
85% area) than they were with the 1280 curves.
