Hmmm... I expected a dramatic difference, but the two images I printed
on the stc740, high quality setting with 72 ppi and default settings=20
(gamma =3D 1, brightness =3D 100, contrast =3D 100, ...) look not too=20
different. My impression however is that the new code looks a little=20
more like the the output I get from the Lexmark Optra Color 40=20
(PostScript color inkjet).

I wanted to do some more extensive testing with all the possible print
modes later today just to give you another data point regarding the
740 status.

On a different subject: What settings are you using with which printers?
I think we should collect a list of settings with information about=20
the paper type used and which printer and print mode to make it easier
for people to reproduce results.

And on another different subject: Robert, what's the status of the PostScri=
pt
driver? I noticed some problems with missing newlines in the PS output for
the Lexmark in the setpagedevice section. I can take a look this weekend
if you like.
