Hi Ernst,

I've been meaning to get back to you.  From the 10000 manuals it is supposed
to be upwardly compatible to with the 9500 driver.  But dot control seems
to be the big addition of the 10000 vs the 9500.  It supports several fixed
size dots and two variable size dot sets.  There's no indication of how big the
dots actually are though.  It sounds like the default size that the 9500 driver
is using is pretty big.

The dot size issues are the main problem since I don't have any access to a
printer.  Using the variable dots is more trouble since the dot sizes have to be
measured to get the transitions smooth.  If you use an inkset like NK6 it may
not be a problem using the large dots.
