This is mainly the result of deciding to use simple, easy to
understand terms instead of technical ones. Unfortunately the
technical concepts are what matters, and this just adds a layer of
obfuscation.

Bear in mind this is VERY system dependent - Microsoft redesign the
driver "look" regularly.

>1) "Postscript Output Option" [just what is the difference between Archive, Optimize for Portability, etc.]

I don't know what archive is, but Optimize For Portability selects
"DSC compliance", which means the pages are independent of each other.
Some post-processing tools, such as imposition packages, will like
this.

>2. "TrueType Font Download Option" [what is the difference between Outline and Native TrueType?]

Outline - convert to a PostScript font.
Native TrueType - send as TrueType - recommended if the printer
understands as all recent ones do.
>
>3. "TrueType Font" settings under "Graphic"

I don't have one of those. What Windows are you on?
