Not suggesting! My HPLJ-4 had a lot of tweaks. I didn't see much difference
in PLUS, so... path of least resistance. Either one works fine.

Yes

If using a 600+ dpi printer, yes -- if not, NO! Don't delete the statement
you're replacing, just comment it out (leading semi-colon) -- I haven't printed
XyWrite to a 2200D, so you're on your own here, and might want to revert.

> That replacement forces 600 dpi?

Of course. Look in the printer file, Michael! Everything is already explained
there, all I did (in my XPLeNCODEd line) was format it correctly so the printer
can accept it. If you want to prove that 600dpi makes a difference, compare
XyW output of 3P and 2200D under a magnifier or loupe...

If you use HP4-PLUS.PRN, you don't have to copy anything. Path of least
resistance.
