Incorrect. LQ-570 is pretty old, I think.    Anyway, LQ-1000, LQ-2000,
LQ-1500 do support 360x360 resolution, as does my Panasonic KP X-1124.
And they claim it to be fully Epson-compatible (which so far I found
to be true).

360x360 resolution works, because I've been able to print TeX (well,
DVI :-) files on it (of course after running them through "dvi2nec"
driver, which supports 360x360).

My question stays:
	Is anybody working on Epson (LQ-1500 and better :-)
	driver to support 360x360 resolution? If not - could
	somebody geve me help/advice on how to enhance the
	existing driver?

Thanks, but:
	a) That's NOT what I asked for.
	b) It's not maximum printer resolution.
	c) I need to support fonts with square resolution,
	   so your advice is unacceptable. Besides, "dvips"
	   doesn't quite understand "360x180", I think.
