I'll stick with HPLJ-4.PRN, as you suggest. The above seems to refer to
HP4-PLUS.prn. Should I set the d:\path for .bin in 4.PRN (I did not do that
in my 3P.PRN; if yes in 4.PRN, where should it go?) and, I assume you
recommend the replacement FB< code for both PLUS.PRN and 4.RPN, right? That
replacement forces 600 dpi? Finally, what to suggest I copy
from HP4-PLUS.PRN into HPLJ-4.PRN, if anything?
