Any way to trick an hp P2015dn to print at 150dpi?
I can't find a setting below 600dpi, which makes it hard to see wires
:-(
I can cheat, make a PDF at 150 dpi, then print. But that's a
nuisance.

What's your CAD tool? I've found for including graphics as EPS files I
have to set the drawing packages line length to some real width,
otherwise I get the native (and way too narrow) width of the printer.
If there's a setup for yours you may be able to do something similar.

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" was written for you.

Geez. Open in Paint, select desired page size and scale, hit print. Or
any number of other image editing programs. Or whatever format the file
is. Every program I use has some sort of printing option.
Printing is no mystery, I'm amazed an old goon such as yourself is finding
it a nuisance.

Interesting. That I never had happen. Line thicknesses were always the
same regardless of resolution, it's just that 300dpi is occasionally too
fuzzy and 150dpi can be ghastly for attributes. Did this come from your CAD?

Acrobat renders at 150 dpi and schematics are just fine. Same
schematic printed directly to the P2015dn has lines so fine that
they're a struggle to read at a glance.
Maximum width setting I can find for the P2015dn is 600 dpi.

Install PCL5e driver, it enables you 300dpi but not less

Can't you modify the HPGL file to define the pen widths? Otherwise run
it through a program which can print the file with reasonable line
widths. I assume HPGL support in the printer is just an add-on nobody
at HP's engineering department is looking at.
