Prior to RISCOS 3, the printer driver did not support
colour.   I therefore used the Beebug printer driver
with my Star XB24-10.

I was delighted to discover that RISCOS3.1 driver supported
colour - it is far simpler to configure one driver than swap
between
two.

However, I discovered that the 3.1 driver does not support
colour in resolutions above 180x180.  I appreciate that high
resolution colour printing is not for those in a hurry, but
on occasions one is prepared  to wait.

Is this a restriction on the way that the Acorn driver
software works or can it be sorted out by adjusting the
printer config file.

I am loathe to go back to a pre RISCOS 3 driver, as that
involves  unloading various modules , lack of compatibity
....

Anyone have any suggestions?
