Digital BW, The Print

Thanks, Roger. I had made sure that the image was the resolution I
wanted to use when I saved it as a TIFF from photoshop (and converted
it from RGB .PSD to 8 bit monochrome uncompressed TIFF). I've double
checked with identify using the script you emailed me, and that has
confirmed the resolution and aspect ratio are as I expected. 

I'd forgotten qpr, so I'll have a look at that and see how that works
- at least there I should be able to see the lpr command it makes, and
see what's going on (and maybe write derivative scripts for specific
purposes). Getting away from an unpredictable 'helpful' GUI interface
might help!

thanks,
mike
