RE: [Digital BW] Optimal DPI

Hi Bob,

I don't believe there is any OS limit to page length, per so, there is only
the application limit, driver limit and hardware limit.  I believe that when
you print, it always invokes the, typically, manufacturers supplied printer
driver.

I believe even the Cone plug-in uses the Epson driver to some degrees.
Obviously, you can bypass some aspects of the driver, as the Cone plug-in
supposedly does.

Regards,

Austin
