    Default Can't control lpi on Laserprinters

    Our Apple LaserWriter 8500 has a bad fuser. We use it to print translucent
    films from FreeHand files. So we switched to an HP 8500 and an Apple 16/600
    neither of which will print my selected lpi. Took the file down to kinkos.
    Spent a lot of money to realize the same problem. Working with Macro-Media tech
    people. No luck yet. They did have a tech note to turn off photograde. My
    photograde option is off, turning it on is grayed.

    You can only control lpi with a Postscript printer. Are the printers you're
    using Postscript printers?

    Which version of FH are you using? Which version of Mac OS?

    I had some problems under FHMX/OS X. I'll detail the setup that worked for
    me if it would help.

    Judy, thanks for taking the time to respond. Yes, I am using PostScript
    printers. My FH10 allows me to set any lpi I want . Then it just prints off at
    a resolution much finer than requested. I did find a tech note advising me to
    turn off photograde option. When I checked this tip out I descovered that my
    phograde was off and I did not have the option to turn it on. Anyway no luck
    yet.

    Are you using the correct PPD for the printer?

    On my printer, there is a setting in the Print dialog under Printer Features
    > Enhanced screens. Make sure this is set to 'None'.
    You don't say whether you are using OS 9 or OS X. It makes a big difference
    in how you set up your printers and install your PPDs.
