No it's not automatically selecting Economode, for if I select that
manually from the Win Driver UI dialogue, the print really is Economode
and spotty.

From the RO side (Printers 1.91a) an Acorn HP Laserjet printer def file
(Was HP LaserJet 5) through JetDirect to the HP LaserJet P2055dn.

The three resolution settings in the (Icon bar icon) Shift + Select click
Configuration window, still address the printer and modify the output
accordingly. (as it did with the previous 16 year old HP-LJ).

And on the Win side Economode is Unticked.

Why shouldn't changing resolution change the amount of Toner/Ink being
used.

It's obvious and logical, less resolution= less density= less toner/ink.

It's even obvious when using the Epson Photo Inkjet.

This is all kind of academic really, as SWMBO want to print at two of the
possible resolutions, she does it mostly through RO, and I'm not going to
get in the way...
