In case you don't know, Freedom of Press is (now) a chooser level printer driver that will take postscript input and drive an HP Laserjet (or some other from its list of 30 or so devices). So, the question is (are): i) What's it really like ? ii) Just how slow is it at transferring the image down the serial line (at 9600 baud?) to something like a laserjet ? My initial thoughts are that a 300*300 8"*8" image which contains 5,760,000 pixels would take say 10 minutes if 1 pixel ~ 1 data bit, please say that this isn't the case ! John
