The IIGS printer tools support PWYS fairly well.  The real problem is
that what you see on the 640x200 pixel display is pretty crappy.  Why
in the world would you want text documents printed exactly like WYS
on the display?  Far better to print the text as well as the output
hardware is capable of doing.  That implies different font bitmaps,
for example.
