   I tried changing the nozzle separation to 4, but the the softweave
   mode still seems to be printing some raster lines on top of each
   other while leaving wide gaps between the bands of printed lines,
   just in a slightly different way than before.

OK, I guess we'll get rid of softweave mode on the 1520.

   The quality if the 720x720 microweave mode, however, is *very* good
   - as good or better than the windows driver; and if anything, seems
   to print faster than the softweave mode.  As you point out, the
   1520 must have a faster processor and more memory than the newer
   models.

Weird, isn't it?

   My C development skills are not very good, but I am more than happy
   to test out any code changes you might suggest, including any fixes
   to the broken 1440x720 microweave mode.  Unfortunately, I don't
   have a working flatbed scanner right now, but I can snail-mail the
   output of the various modes on my printer if this would help.

I know what's wrong with the 1440x720 microweave.  The fix won't be
that hard, but it's not entirely trivial either.  It looks like this
really will need fixing.
