   Ok, another ESCP2 question.

   There are two ways to transfer raster data.  "ESC i" and "ESC .".

   "ESC i" explicitly specifies the number of bits per pixel.  "ESC ." does
   not.  Is it kosher to use "ESC ." while printing in multibit mode?
   I had assumed that "ESC ." implied 1 bit per pixel, and that "ESC i" was
   required for multi-bit pixels, but, the current CVS version of the driver
   is using "ESC ." even in multi-bit format.  Seems a little fishy to me.

In microweave or softweave mode?  In microweave mode it isn't using
multibit at all.  I thought I had fixed the softweave code (and I know
I've tested it) to use ESCi in multibit mode.  ESC. will not do
multibit stuff; there's no way to express it.
