Tony Safina wants to know the difference.  Perhaps on a 9 pin dot matrix
printer, there is no advantage to using TeX and such a printer is
dreadfully slow for decent output.   On the other hand..., I just printed
out for my wife on my HPLJ IIP a WP5.1 document and I was frankly
astonished by the poor appearance it made compared with any TeX
document.  It could have typed on any typewriter with a bold key
(if such exists), while the TeX documents look like something produced
by a printer with somewhat low res fonts.
