[comp.sys.apollo] DP LZR2665, Interleaf, and other lemons

We have a DataProducts LZR2665 laser printer on our Apollo
network and have found the print quality very poor. This is especially
so with Interleaf. The printer does not seem to handlr downloaded fonts
so we use the native fonts of the printer. Have other people found 
the same problem and if so did they find a fix. One expensive solution is
to convert it to a RIPRINT but other packages will not be
able to use it. TeX does does work with it either. This printer has been
a lemon for us. We wanted it for the A3 postscript capablity.
We also have Mentor Graphics s/w which prints poorly on it as well. And yes..
we have had DP here several times to tune it!

How about a postscript to RiPrint filter? Is there one available?
Thank you in advance.P
