Do all Apple Dealers have this disk? If it was sent out to them, does
anyone know when? 

I tried to get the driver this weekend. The dealer knew nothing about it.
Is there anything else I could say to jog their memory?  Or maybe not
everyone got it?

I've been experimenting with grayscale images digitized by MacVision. I
got the best prints from PageMaker, but I'd rather use Word. I understand
that this driver is what stands between the ugly prints I got and something
more like those from PageMaker. Is there any chance that this driver would
improve the prints I got from Digital Darkroom and MacVision?
