This option is applicable only to printers that support compressed graphics. This includes the HP DeskJet printer, LaserJet IIP, and LaserJet III and 4 printers, but does not include the HP LaserJet, LaserJet II, or LaserJet IID printers. This is the default. Print at 300 dpi. Output quality will be improved at the expense of much larger print files.
Pages can be any combination of a comma-separated list of page numbers or ranges.
HP's PCL language, unfortunately, varies from printer to printer. Also, some printers have insufficient memory to print at 300 dpi. Tiffhp's default options have been chosen to generate output printable on any HP PCL compatible printer. Improved performance can be realized, however, by taking advantage of the compressed graphics support available with the newer printers and using the -c option to tiffhp. Note that compressed output is roughly half the size of uncompressed print files.
