I have one of the first color printers also and I have noticed also that  
the colors are off.  Actually all I have noticed is that the blues are  
off.  Regular tiffs print out fine.  I am very impressed by the output of  
tiffs.  I think it has to be a bug with the driver or with postscript.  I  
don't think it is the printer.  Hopefully NeXT knows of the problem and  
will fix it.
