We bought MacPrint for the same reason and are VERY happy with it. The
publisher has promised to support the new System 7.0 scalable fonts in
the future.

In fairness to GDT, Jetlink Express isn't really as expensive as you
indicate. For $149 you get the driver and outline fonts for Symbol,
Helvetica, Times, and Courier scalable from 3 to 127 point. The
additional $199 package adds all the rest of the LaserWriter II
fonts/styles and is actually a very good deal. HP charges $398 for a
comparible font package for their DeskWriter!
