   I just a few minutes free time to test the latest version of
   the plugin with my stc740. It now actually puts ink on the paper
   roughly where it belongs :-)

   I've scanned the results and put them up at=20
   http://home.rochester.rr.com/specht/test

I have a suspicion about what else is going on (besides the row
spacing) -- I have a vague idea (because of the extra width of these
prints) that the column spacing is something other than 1/720"
(specifically, 1/360").  If this is the case, we have to treat the 740
and friends as a 360 dpi printer to get 720 dpi the same way we get
1440 dpi out of a 720 dpi printer.

I've checked in some code to allow this to be tested.  It won't work
perfectly correctly (the softweave code still assumes 720 dpi column
spacing), but it may be enough to allow testing this hypothesis.

The way to test it is to change the MODEL_MAKE_XRES feature from 720
to 360 for the printer in question (the 740, but we can try this with
other printers too).

Karl, could give this a try (both with the 720 default value, and if
that results in something that's too wide, with 360)?
