Aldus' driver should work with Apple laserprinters
provided you install the appropriate files (speaking
of PageMaker 4.0).

The difference is that Apple's driver is incapable of
printing some things. For instance, if you do reversals,
(white text on black or grey backgrounds), Aldus' driver
will print them but Apple's won't.

On the other hand, Apple's driver prints in the background
with Print Monitor but Aldus' doesn't. You can get it to
spool with SuperLaserSpool but it doesn't work with a
large print file.
