I am printing from CoolWriter and Medley. I believe that both are 16bit applications, but I could be mistaken. They both call up the same "Print..." dialog box which I believe belongs to the "ImageWriter" Chooser driver in GS/OS, so that would make them 16bit apps. > > As for the driver, I would think that the ImageWriter driver which > comes with GS/OS supports the ImageWriter II.

So perhaps there is only this one "ImageWriter" driver. So then how do I get the darn thing to print in the highest quality? -- Apple2list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Apple2list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/apple2.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/apple2list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
