A few months ago, I bought a Stylewriter for my Mac.  I figured I could live
with the slowness in order to get better-than-laser quality and dramatically
lower power consumption (i.e. good for the environment :-) for about $350.

When I first tried printing to it from Adobe Illustrator though, everything
came out *really* jaggy, like it didn't know the Stylewriter could print
more than 72dpi.  I called Adobe tech support, and they told me that the
new Stylewriter drivers were screwed up, and I should use an older one
(version 1.1).  This works OK, but is *really*, REALLY, slow.  Talking
with other people, other applications don't have the jaggy problem on
the newer drivers.  Is this really an Adobe problem or an Apple problem?

Also, I printed some gray blends on my Style writer, and it appears to
have only 8 different shades of gray (other than black and white) and
it's really obvious (i.e. very distinct lines between them).  When I
print the same document on a Laserwriter, the blends are much smoother,
but the dots are a lot more obvious (the Stylewriter dots can only be
seen if you look _real_ close).  Is _this_ a problem with the Stylewriter,
the Apple driver, or with Illustrator???

Thanks for any help, please e-mail responses and I'll post a summary.
