Thanks.

August 18, 2012Being that it is a dot-matrix printer, the quality ends up being a relative measure in the first place. In what way has the quality decreased? Are there issues with the printhead? Pins not firing leaving visible whitespace through the characters across the page? What driver are you using? Are you using CUPS or another printing system? Considering the printer, it may be simpler just using LPR or LPRng.

August 18, 2012not sure about kubuntu in particular but you need to change your graphic print quality..
You can tweak your printing settings to get the best results. All of these settings can be found in the File -> Print… window.
Print quality is generally measured in DPI (dots per inch). A greater DPI value should result in better print quality.
Choose Draft for making quick draft prints which don’t use much ink
Choose Best Quality or Photo for making high quality prints. Printing will be slower and will use more ink

August 20, 2012Actually OS doesn’t have the exact driver for LQ-300+II printer. Is there any way of downloading it??

August 21, 2012I think it’s the problem with the printer, not the OS. got a similar experience last week.

August 30, 2012I checked it with windows xp, it works normally with good printing quality…
In that case it is definitely the driver. You need to download the proper driver.
