EmTeX on LQ1050?

 Has anyone managed to get EmTeX to drive an Epson LQ1050 at the
360x360 density successfully? (presumably the LQ850/1000/800 would
be equivalent as far as this goes).

 I can't seem to convince dvidot to not put in an extra line-feed
between passes on a given line; so the output text looks like:
This is line 1   [ every 'odd dot' ]
This is line 1   [ every 'even dot', I assume]

This is line 2
This is line 2

 and so forth. I've tried fiddling with the lqh.dot file, but I
don't really understand what's going on well enough to do much more
than fiddle, and trying the /s+ or /s- switches gets me nowhere.

 (I've set the relevant dip switch to the right place; as far as I
can tell, it's not the printer itself, as printing using the lql
driver and 'shrinking' the fonts to 180x180 works fine -- it's just
that, having spent all that time building the 360x360 fonts, I hate
to waste all that effort -- and, I suppose, the quality will be
lower.)

 Thanks in advance.
