MPW (at least through 2.0b1) doesn't work with ImageWriter
drivers later than 2.3 (or at least 2.1, which I'm using)
in draft mode.

Apple describes a low-level printing bug in Tech Note #124 and
makes it sound like low-level printing is gradually becoming
de-supported.  The PrGeneral call (TN #128) is a big start
on having a clean, formally-defined interface.  It appears
as though the code

	ablock: TDftBitsBlk;

	ablock.iOpCode := draftBitsOp;
	ablock.hPrint := myprinthandle;
	PrGeneral(@ablock);

will set draft-mode printing.  To set 'Best' mode, the TSetRslBlk
parameter to PrGeneral allows you to select a resolution.

There's also a GetRotn call to say landscape/portrait.  If only
there were a SetRotn.
