Epson Stylus Color IIs printer driver (second beta test release)
-------------------------------------
This driver should enable you to drive this printer upto its full resolution of
720dpi * (see later for some notes on this).
Printer settings such as uni/bi-directional printing and economy mode are left
upto the printer. An exception to this is MicroWeave for which there is no
printer-cofigurable option. The density settings in preferences therefore
correspond to the following options:
Density Resolution MicroWeave
1 180x180 No
2 180x180 Yes
3 360x360 No
4 360x360 Yes
5 360x720 No (My printer doesn't support this, does yours?)
6 360x720 Yes
7 720x720 * Yes
* Notes for 720dpi printing:
----------------------------
As far as I can gather, the Stylus IIs can *not* actually print 720dpi. Instead
it achieves an effective dot placement resolution of upto 1/720th of an inch by
printing two 360dpi rasters offset by 1/720th of an inch as in the following
diagram:
#.#.#.#.#.#.#.#.#.
.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o # correspond to one 360dpi raster
#.#.#.#.#.#.#.#.#. o correspond to another
.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o . is a gap
Strictly speaking the dpi value is sqr(2)*360 or a bit over 500dpi along the
diagonals. This means that exactly half of your image data is ignored when
printing at these densities.

Please send bugs/praise/suggestions/chocolate cake. If the driver really changes
