Chuckle, that would work, the first one anyway. And being almost retired, I
don't have a 'letterhead', it might generate more work. :(
So I shrank that .png image to 1/4 page and sent lpr to print it, but I
suspect I need to rotate it too. lpr is starting about in the middle of a
blank sheet, & since I told it to use the 1440x1440 profile (-Plp2) it will
take a while before I can see it. It appears to have auto-centered it on the
page.
Humm, looks decent, but the shrink left it fuzzy. And the 1440 mode doesn't
use all nozzles. Try one at 360x, and that shows a nozzle pattern and is
fast. At least I will have a reminder that it needs cleaned before I waste a
$heet of good paper.
Thanks for the idea, Tim. I believe it might help. Daily would use too much
ink using that image though.
