Hi. We recently purchased an HP Laser-4-Mac (6 meg) that is shared by our Macintosh and Indigo XS24. Everything works well on the Macintosh end but on the SGI, only text files print out reliably. 

PostScript files generated by showcase or image files converted by 'tops' print at 300 dpi but not at 600 dpi. 

The printer is connected to a serial port and is currently using the generic postscript driver. Is there an HP specific driver available? 

Any info. would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,
Logan Donaldson  (logan@otter.biochem.ubc.ca)

How do you know it's not 600dpi?  I'd be very very surprised that if
this is happening, it isn't a bug in the HP printer.  PostScript
programs cannot specify their resolution -- it's up to the interpreter
to do that!  The images may look low-res because they are--they're
being scaled up from their original size.

Not for the LJ4M, and not for the PS version, at least not from SGI.
There shouldn't need to be one, though!
