I've been corresponding with a friend for the past 24
hours trying to get something other than red to show
up in an HP Color Laserjet 5M printer. Anyone have
experience with that? I'm guessing that the printer
is taking the color index as a 24-bit value, but
DEVICE, DECOMPOSED=0 is not a valid keyword for this
PRINTER device. Sigh...

Maybe this is the *opposite* problem from what we
have been discussing in this thread. Maybe attacking
this from both ends will get RSI's attention. :-)

Cheers,

David
