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 !
