Softstyle of Honolulu, HA (808)396-6368 has all kinds of drivers etc. for 
different printers.  They advertise in MacWorld etc.

I have a different Idea for printing quickly on a Mac.

I was just looking at my ImageWriterII manual, and noticing that it supported
downloadable fonts.  How about a one font at a time ImageWriterII driver that
starts by downloading the selected font, then prints all text in that font?

Anybody know any good reasons why it can't be done? Anybody interested in 
such a thing?
