hi, Thanks doing this browser localhost:631 sets it up right and printing quality is a bit better, but leaves a lot to be desired. the CUPS test page lists a dpi of 120x72. Is there a way to increase print dpi. Or any other way to increase print quality? --- Gene Heskett <gene.heskett@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Saturday 31 December 2005 12:02, Navneet Kumar > wrote: > >HI, > >I have googled a lot about this but didnt get a > >satisfactory solution. so please help me. > >I used kde gui utility to setup my printer but > LX-800 > >doesnt show up in the list. > >trying generic and evrything else gives a > unreadable > >print quality. > > > >I'm a newbie to linux so please give steps.
