On a Canon BJ-200, the Harmonie Epson LQ driver blows away the
Freeware Epson LQ driver. The Harmonie driver outputs at true
360x360dpi, but the Freeware one outputs at a lower resolution and
the wrong aspect ratio.
 
Harmonie's printout is indistinguishable from laser print. It is
better than the BJ-200 w/the Windows 3.1 driver. It is better than
Deskjet output on a Windows 3.1 system. I never saw Deskjet output
on a IIGS, but the BJ's it is most certainly better (higher
resolution and on a PC, the BJ's output is better than the
Deskjet's).
 
The latest version of Harmonie, v2.11, seems to have elaborate
color support (there are Red, Green, and Blue sliders that can be
accessed from the print dialog box by clicking on a button).
