BUG DETECTED:
the printer does not do what it should do! According to the
software developers guide I did something that should work to
reduce the amount of data to send to the printer. That works
, but not always. So this version has a fix around this problem
and that semms to work.
Added support for envelopes paper size (select 'other' papersize
in the printer menu and deleted a5 paper from the printersizes
This does not mean that you cannot use the a5 format, but you must
print it on a4,letter or legal size paper (if you were used to a5
layout, you probapbly already did so, because the printer does
not support a5 paper)
sorry, but this version is not the promised even faster version
so the next text is stil valid for this version.
Note that you should use dskjt23P only if you have a deskjet plus
although you can use dskjt23 for both types of printers.
version 2.2:
These printerdrivers hav a bug removed compared to version 2.1, which
cause certain rasters (the ones with speed improvements) to become
streched.
The new and faster printer-drivers for use with
calamus. It is public domain and should not be sold as part of any deal,
nor should it be included on any commercial product (like calamus itself)
without permission of the author.
To use it, just install it from inside calamus and save the settings.
It does not speed up the calculations done by calamus.
Expected increase in speed is something between 10% and 900%.
It can be used for DeskJet printers (DskJT21.cpd) as well as
DeskJet PLUS (DSKJT21P.CPD).
The default resolution is now 300dpi and the default papersize is A4.
Compared to my old driver (DESKJET.CPD) this one is even faster, has a
serious bug removed (which caused garbage printout), and has better
margins. A 'performance bug' in the printers firmware did prevent to
print at maximum speed, but the software driver now overcomes most
of this problem.
By selecting 'other' the output of one page is written to disk, but this
is a buggy implementation, because there are no checks made for diskspace,
etc... Also only one page can be dumped to disk, because the file name is
fixed. (In fact this was a request I got from someone). This option will
be removed in future versions to allow networking software to control
the parallel port (or catch al data that is ment for the parallel prot).
In this version the port is controlled directly by the driver (skipping
the bios).
Have (fast) fun!!
