Can anyone tell me exactly what a Wang LCS-15 laserprinter is? I believe
it has a Ricoh engine, but other than that I have no idea.

We used to use an Apple LaserWriter, and with the standard Canon 300dpi
definition I could produce beautiful documents with TeX. It died, however,
and we switched to the Wang.

Everything works, but the fonts that come out of the TeX process look
terrible. It appears to be mostly a problem with horizontal lines.

The psroff and WordPerfect documents that use the internal fonts look
fine, so it's not a problem with the printer. I could expend the energy
to try to use the internal fonts, but I would much rather just have
Metafont produce compatible fonts.
