hp P2015dn dp i??

Question

Any way to trick an hp P2015dn to print at 150dpi?

I can't find a setting below 600dpi, which makes it hard to see wires :-(

I can cheat, make a PDF at 150 dpi, then print. But that's a nuisance. ...Jim Thompson

What's your CAD tool?  I've found for including graphics as EPS files I have to set the drawing packages line length to some real width, otherwise I get the native (and way too narrow) width of the printer.If there's a setup for yours you may be able to do something similar.-- Tim WescottWescott Design ServicesDo you need to implement control loops in software?"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" was written for you.See details at

Geez. Open in Paint, select desired page size and scale, hit print. Or any number of other image editing programs. Or whatever format the file is. Every program I use has some sort of printing option.

Printing is no mystery, I'm amazed an old goon such as yourself is finding it a nuisance.

Install PCL5e driver, it enables you 300dpi but not less

Interesting. That I never had happen. Line thicknesses were always the same regardless of resolution, it's just that 300dpi is occasionally too fuzzy and 150dpi can be ghastly for attributes. Did this come from your CAD?

Acrobat renders at 150 dpi and schematics are just fine.  Sameschematic printed directly to the P2015dn has lines so fine thatthey're a struggle to read at a glance.Maximum width setting I can find for the P2015dn is 600 dpi.		                                        ...Jim Thompson-- | James E.Thompson, CTO                            |    mens     || Analog Innovations, Inc.                         |     et      || Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems  |    manus    || Phoenix, Arizona  85048    Skype: Contacts Only  |             || Voice:(480)460-2350  Fax: Available upon request |  Brass Rat  || E-mail Icon at  |    1962     |          Democrats are best served up prepared as a hash           Otherwise my dogs will refuse to eat them :-)

Can't you modify the HPGL file to define the pen widths? Otherwise runit through a program which can print the file with reasonable linewidths. I assume HPGL support in the printer is just an add-on nobodyat HP's engineering department is looking at.-- Failure does not prove something is impossible, failure simplyindicates you are not using the right tools...nico@nctdevpuntnl (punt=.)--------------------------------------------------------------
