Does anyone know why the 25% reduction option is not offered with the driver for the LaserWriter SC? I used this option all the time with old-style LaserWriters. For example, this is the only way I know of to print a document from MacDraw at 300dpi. (You do this by drawing everything 4 times as large and then reducing it 25%).

Yes you can print at 25%, though since it was never tested at 25% there is no guarantee that it works with all programs. The 25% button is in the Page Setup DITL, it just doesn't show. Here's how you do it (with ResEdit): 1. Look for the DITL in the Page Setup Dialog (mine is -8192) 2. Open as general. 3. Look for the string "25%". 4. Notice that the item's rect (which appears BEFORE the item) is set to an empty rectangle -- 0078 0096 0078 0096 5. Change this to 0078 0096 0088 00D2 The next time you use the Page Setup dialog you will see the 25% button!! Enjoy, Frank Leahy
