   I have, and they are still broken.  The output file sizes are not
   exactly the same, but mode 2 still produces blank and garbage pages, and
   modes 3 and 6 produce small files.

I could not find any material difference between the output in 3.1.3
and the repository (at least while using the print plugin -- I haven't
had time to try the Ghostscript driver).  There was a minor mistake in
softweave mode (ink drop size wasn't set if the correct size for that
printer is zero), but that was the case in both versions.  I've fixed
it, so you might as well give it a shot.

Could you do me a favor?  You'll find a perl script named parse-escp2
in the repository.  Please run that over the output from mode 2 and
mode 3, and send me about the first 30 lines of output (the output
from mode 2 might be fairly voluminous).
