Already we have Imagewriter II (72dpi) printing, Imagewriter LQ
(216dpi) printing, 300 dpi Quickdraw laser printing, and Postscript
printing for the macintosh.
Now Cricket has decided to do their own drivers, probably because
Apple is so reluctant to support "real" drivers. History will
probably say that Apple's reluctance was a tactical error. Apple is
causing a proliferation of non-standard printing drivers and printers.
Thus, the macintosh is becoming more & more like a MS-DOS machine
every day, with lots of non-standard software that won't work together.
