Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

Thanks for the feedback. Not knowing what it was doning and not 
seeing any improvement I have been leaving it off.

I am still wondering about the "halftone" setting which is absent 
from my driver settings. Is there a difference between the Windows 98 
and the Windows 2000 version of the driver?

Can someone running a 1280 under Windows 98 tell me if there is 
a "halftone" setting in the "Advanced" settings under "Custom"?

Thanks,
Martin
