Something lj1200 users might want to try in OpenOffice: add the lj1200 in
Spadmin using its HP-SourceForge .ppd. With it set as the default printer,
run off a page full of exotic ttf's (i.e., fonts unsupported by internal
equivalents -- Abadi MT Condensed Light is a good example). Then adjust the
"generic printer" command to "kprinter --stdin", and print off the same
document using the "generic printer".
By piping output to the KDE printing system there's a small but noticeable
deterioration in quality, not unlike the difference in output in Windows
between the PS driver set to 1200dpi and the PCL6 driver set to 600dpi.
Type1 fonts are unaffected.
There's probably a blindingly obvious solution to this, though I've yet to
hear it.
