I'm starting a job-search (anyone have FreeBSD related job openings?) and so I thought I'd start fiddling with groff/troff to do my resume (so that I can learn something while trying to get a job). Reconfiguring my printer (it used to work... honest!) was a little frustrating, mostly because I didn't reread the handbook (after i did that, it was rather straightforward -- hpif worked nearly out of the box :) ). Unfortunately, the output from this configuration wasn't up to my hopes (I was using the djet500 driver, and was getting what I considered rather poor output). In trying to figure out how to configure my printer, I had searched AltaVista, and some people had recommended using the laserjet 4 driver for ghostscript ( -sDEVICE=ljet4 ) with the DJ 600 (they are 600x600 resolution printers). I tried that, and voila... instant improvement in print quality. If you have a Deskjet 600 (or maybe other of the newer 600x600 deskjets), you might want to give it a try. Standard Disclaimers.. Please don't blame me if your printer breaks. bryan
