Thank you for all you effort in this!!!!!!!
I look foward to being able to print my own mini-demos and games on paper.

All I have is a Hp 750 with a 600 dpi max (though only 300 is offerend in
the printer properties), I guess I will have to get another printer. When I
try to print I always get a dot code that is way ot large..

Thanks again!
-Daniel
