[comp.sys.mac] DeskJet and PD Driver

fjo@cbnewsc.ATT.COM (frank.j.owen) (01/19/90)

  Some time ago I posted an article that claimed that "JetLink Express"
from GDT Softworks was much faster than the Public Domain
driver. I claimed the speed improvement was "dramatic", well
I've done a little benchmarking and have found that there is
essentially NO difference in speed between the two. (They are
both fairly slow.) 
   The advantages that the GDT driver has are that it does landscape
printing, has outline font technology built in, and handles
rotated text, grey scales, and patterns better than the public
domain driver. If you don't do much landscape printing, and
get ATM, then the Public Domain driver will give very good results.
