I use a couple of old dot matrix printers on my linux boxes (Citizen ABC and a Panasonic KX-P2123).
I am using the recomended drivers but I cannot set max resolution (360*360) on either printer.
Best shown is (360*216) which does not print properly. I can use (360*180) but no higher?

What PPDs do you use for these printers?

Hello,
Post by Mr_Bits
I use a couple of old dot matrix printers on my linux boxes
(Citizen ABC and a Panasonic KX-P2123).
I am using the recomended drivers but I cannot set
max resolution (360*360) on either printer.
Best shown is (360*216) which does not print properly.
I can use (360*180) but no higher?
Do you really need to print images in graphical mode on those
dot matrix printers or do you actually only like to print plain
text with the printer's built-in character set and font?

Compare "Printing Plain Text in Printer-Specific Code" in
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Using_Your_Own_Filters_to_Print_with_CUPS

For the panasonic i use the KX-P2123 driver that comes with Pclinuxos. For the Citizen i use Epson LQ-570plus with the printer set for epson emulation.
I mainly print from Libre office or Abiword and the print is ok, but not as good as printing from libre office on windows xp, as the xp driver supports 360*360!

I have also used Ubuntu and the correct drivers dont allow 360*360.

Its not really a big deal as the print is acceptable, just be nice to use these printers at their best.

Please post (an URL to) the PPDs you use. I think I could modify the PPDs to
support the 360x360 resolution.

I use a couple of old dot matrix printers on my linux boxes (Citizen
ABC and a Panasonic KX-P2123). I am using the recomended drivers but
I cannot set max resolution (360*360) on either printer. Best shown
is (360*216) which does not print properly. I can use (360*180) but
no higher?
What PPDs do you use for these printers?
Helge
For the panasonic i use the KX-P2123 driver that comes with Pclinuxos.
For the Citizen i use Epson LQ-570plus with the printer set for epson
emulation. I mainly print from Libre office or Abiword and the print is
ok, but not as good as printing from libre office on windows xp, as the
xp driver supports 360*360!
I have also used Ubuntu and the correct drivers dont allow 360*360.
Its not really a big deal as the print is acceptable, just be nice to
use these printers at their best.
Please post (an URL to) the PPDs you use. I think I could modify the PPDs
to support the 360x360 resolution.

I use a couple of old dot matrix printers on my linux boxes (Citizen
ABC and a Panasonic KX-P2123). I am using the recomended drivers but
I cannot set max resolution (360*360) on either printer. Best shown
is (360*216) which does not print properly. I can use (360*180) but
no higher?
What PPDs do you use for these printers?
Helge
For the panasonic i use the KX-P2123 driver that comes with Pclinuxos.
For the Citizen i use Epson LQ-570plus with the printer set for epson
emulation. I mainly print from Libre office or Abiword and the print is
ok, but not as good as printing from libre office on windows xp, as the
xp driver supports 360*360!
I have also used Ubuntu and the correct drivers dont allow 360*360.
Its not really a big deal as the print is acceptable, just be nice to
use these printers at their best.
Please post (an URL to) the PPDs you use. I think I could modify the PPDs
to support the 360x360 resolution.
Helge
I cant find a URL for the PPD, but i found the file on my system.

Did as you said. Now 360*360 shows in resolution requestor

Will stick with 380*180.
Thanks for trying anyway!
