Ok, I'll be the first to level a complaint about System 5.0. I just tried to print something from AppleworksGS (a color picture), and the blasted laserwriter 3.0 drivers won't print in color to our QMS ColorScript 100 postscript printer. Hey, what gives??? I expect true color postscript output from this baby, and it looks like I can only do it from the ribbon of an Imagewriter. hey, I mean, doesn't everybody have a $20,000 printer on their network that they can use? C'mon, guys, have some foresight! Hey, they did it for the Mac ;-) --Rick Ewing (laughing hysterically) Apple Atlanta

Well, since we have the QMS ColorScript 100 here, and I was insanely curious, not to mention that System 5.0 has been full of plesant surprises, I said, what the hell?! let's try it! The result? A successful printout, but it beautiful black and white. Oh well, I suppose we can always wait for System 6.0!

However, I think dithered colors would look pretty bleedin' awful. -- Syd Polk | Wherever you go, there you are. jazzman@claris.com | Let the music be your light.
