I am looking for a drawing (painting?) program which will do the
following:

1) Run on SE (128K ROM) era machine, no mac II, no SE/30, no
upgrade, etc.
2) Print on HP printer. In other words, use a chooser printer
which does not understand postscript.
3) Incorporate scanned images into the page. (TIFF format would
be best.)
4) Has basic art tools, ie lines, arcs, circle, text, etc.
5) Use true grays as fills, not just dither patterns. (Not
necessary but would be nice.)

The only thing I have found to work was Cricket Draw and it
produced a quickdraw version of the image (72dpi instead of the
scanned 300dpi). Another problem is that all of the other artwork
is already drawn in MacDraw II. I can save the files as PICTs and
will only loose the gray fill info, so I should be able to import
the artwork into any other program (I hope).

Should I maybe be looking at dtp programs instead. If so, how
easy are they to use for just drawing as opposed to a drawing
program. 

I will summarize any responses received.
