Shaded Areas Don't Print the Same in Windows 3.0 and 3.1

ID: Q89707

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1

SUMMARY

Versions 3.5, 3.51, 3.52, and 3.53 of the PostScript driver that ships with Windows 3.1 do not print shaded areas at the same resolution as the PostScript driver that ships with Windows 3.0. The Windows 3.0 PostScript driver prints shaded areas at 75 dots per inch (dpi) while the Windows 3.1 PostScript printer driver prints shaded areas at 300 dpi.

This functionality was changed in the Windows 3.1 implementation of the PostScript driver to provide consistency between all printer drivers. For example, the PostScript printer driver for Windows 3.1 behaves the same way as the Windows 3.1 printer drivers for the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet series of printers.
