   However, the Jetlink Express driver, which is not even tailored for
   the IIP like MacPrint 1.2 (You ARE using the IIP driver in 1.2, arent
   you?)  Has some other niceties that would pacify you a bit.

   First JLX has 4 outline fonts (Courier, Times, Helvetica, & Symbol)
   for use with the driver; others are available (for a fee).

   Second, they seem to handle certain things better (like printing in
   the internal font).

   Also, the speed of printing is a direct result of the DRIVER.  Make
   sure you get the MacPrint 1.2, minimum, and read my review in Computer
   Shopper in January (lead time, sorry;-) to see the differences between
   the 4 commercial drivers for the mac.

Yep, I should have been clearer in my posting.  The IIP seems like
a fine printer.  The problems I was having were certainly driver
problems.  I wasn't aware that there were so many other options.

Maybe I won't have to abandon ship just yet: : :-)
