These are the drivers I am using.  However, I recently did a test:  I 
printed a BMP file from PM-VIEW and the output was terrible.  I then 
converted that file to a Windoze BMP file, imported it into Word and 
printed there.  That output was extremely sharp.

But, in any case, my 5L gives much better output than the piece of 
junk Canon BJ-200 that I had been using.  The OS/2 output in 
particular from the BubbleJet was awful.

And so it goes...
