>Because everyone wants 100% PostScript-compatible printers and nothing else.
replyNothing about what the parent wrote prevents that.
What if computers simply rendered 300dpi PNG files and sent that to the printer?
replyThat's actually what a lot of Brother printers do with their default or generic drivers. Except... it's JPEG, not PNG, so you get artifacting. Drives me crazy.
replyInstalling the specific driver like it's 1999 works well, but most people don't bother these days. And thus the world is a bit more crap.
