[comp.sys.mac.apps] Why do I get the %#&@ ResEdit icon instead of my PICT in PM 3.02?

I scanned a logo and saved it as a PICT file, and then placed the
graphic in a flyer I'm making with PM 3.02. It's a fairly simple
affair, with two typefaces and a double-lined border. HOWEVER, if I
print with the Apple driver I lose my left border and the right and
bottom borders become single lines -- but the graphic is OK. If I print
with the Aldus driver everything looks great ... except I now have the
ResEdit icon printed under my logo. The size is about the same as my
placed image. Once the Mac crashed while printing and the ResEdit icon
printed without my logo but with all the text and borders. It wasn't
quite the effect I had in mind, but it was pretty neat.

The PM manual say if you have trouble with PICT files use the Apple
driver. (I doesn't say to use the Aldus driver if you have trouble with
borders.)

Possibly relevent info: Mac SE 4M, Sys 6.05, Laserwriter IINT,
Unifinder. Thanks.
