As can my old Kyocera, I just have to set the necessary resolution on the printer. Maybe your HP is just a pig to change the resolution?

Doesn't the HP tell you what resolution it's using? The Kyo states it on the printer's little info panel. > Why am I continuing this conversation when I know from my own empirical > evidence that lowering the print res does use less toner. Fair enough, a 300dpi mode might well use less toner than 1200dpi but in text printing I'd have thought the difference would be very small. Of course, if you are doing massive amounts of printing then that might add up to real money but my current toner cartridge has been in there for a couple of years at least and shows no signs of failure yet. I probably don't use more than a couple of thousand sheets of A4 a year nowadays. My main delight in using the Kyo as a PS printer is the sheer speed at which I get control of the computer back from the printer. Memory heavy print jobs seemed to take ages when the Acorn drivers were used, in PS mode it takes seconds at most. Alan -- Alan Calder, Milton Keynes, UK.
