Jack, could you clarify an issue that I was discussing with several other PageStream users today (maybe you already have and I missed it): Is there in fact a known "bug" in the output rendering math routines that causes fonts and/or drawings to be a little rougher than they should be? Although the output on my Deskjet is quite good compared to any other DTP or word processor I know of, it is certainly a bit below the capabilities of the printer. Upon close examination of the letters, one can detect slight rough edges, thin spots and sometimes an apparent "cutoff" at the top or edge of a letter. In line drawings, some the thickness of the printed line sometimes depends on its angle. The overall effect is nice but not ultra-crisp as it is when printed out via PostScript. None of these problems are inherently due to printer resolution; the DeskJet is capable of the same 300dpi quality as a LaserWriter. I have heard that the new PrintScript (PostScript interpreter) program produces essentially perfect results on a DeskJet. Could you describe the problem, if it is known, and whether a fix will require a new version of PageStream or simply improved printer driver modules. Thanks. Joel
