	I have many 8-bit images in the format of postscript.  I print
them with  SendPS 2.0 on a Mac IIcx to an Apple LaserWriter II NT.  
	Now I got Apple's 32-bit Color QD disk,  I installed all the
files to the system folder.  The Mac IIcx rus System 6.0.3.
	From what I have learned so far from the net,  the LaserWrite 6.0
improves the grayscale printing compared to the old 5.2.  However, I can't 
tell any difference between two prints, one with 6.0 and the other with 5.2.
	Can the experts on the net tell me why?  Is there something I 
forgot to do?  Or SendPS 2.0 bypasses the LaserWrite 6.0?  Or the postscript
command "image" already does halftone to the best,  LaserWrite 6.0 can't
exceed that?
	Thanks in advance.
