Even though a DeskWriter is generally CPU bound on a MacPlus, it is still faster than the DeskJet or DeskJet Plus solutions for the Mac. The only solution that comes close to DeskWriter's performance is Orange Micro's new Grappler LX product on a DeskJet Plus. The only other case is when the built in fonts of the DeskJet are used (ugh). Steven Miller Vancouver Division Hewlett Packard
