I just purchased a used HP PaintJet for short money, but it doesnt have a
manual and/or any disks.  It is a serial printer BTW.  I can output text
to it (copy file.ext com1) but when I try and access it through windows,
the color doesnt come out right.  instead of a sort-of-nice color bitmap,
I get the picture, but it is divided up into 1/8 inch blocks, and some
colors in the blocks, sort of a checker pattern, are darker than others. 
I've fiddled with all the settings in windows to no avail, and played a
little with the dips on the printer, but still cant get it to work.  any
help out there?
