MPW (at least through 2.0b1) doesn't work with ImageWriter
drivers later than 2.3 (or at least 2.1, which I'm using)
in draft mode.
Apple describes a low-level printing bug in Tech Note #124 and
makes it sound like low-level printing is gradually becoming
de-supported. The PrGeneral call (TN #128) is a big start
on having a clean, formally-defined interface. It appears
as though the code
ablock: TDftBitsBlk;
ablock.iOpCode := draftBitsOp;
ablock.hPrint := myprinthandle;
PrGeneral(@ablock);
will set draft-mode printing. To set 'Best' mode, the TSetRslBlk
parameter to PrGeneral allows you to select a resolution.
There's also a GetRotn call to say landscape/portrait. If only
there were a SetRotn.
