The BJC 1000's highest resolution is odd. The dpi is twice as high in one direction as the other. The gimp-print drivers usually do the right thing, but occasionally a buggy version appears which doesn't work with odd resolutions like 720x1440 (or whatever it is) so you're stuck at 720x720 (or so) until you upgrade.

I sold my BJC 1000 after getting a Samsung ML-4500, so I can't test or tell you exact settings. They're good printers which can survive some maltreatment (like being fed metal - don't try this at home) and the cartridges were very refillable.

Hope that's some use,
