Yes what Z-Soft did kind of sucks, but maybe you can do what I did.
When I bumped up against the limits of the Version of Paintbrush
bundled with Windows I also asked about upgrading my PC Paintbrush +
for Windows for 3.0. They said that Windows 3.0 version wouldn't be
ready for quite a while and suggested I upgrade to PC Paintbrush IV+.
If supports all the nice SuperVga modes on my card (Paradise VGA Pro)
and runs quite nicely as a DOS application under the 386 mode of
Windows. In fact, I suspect that this is the best way to run it, since
a lot of the functions eat expanded memory like it's going out of
style and I suspect that the performance is better than the Windows
version will be. Another advantage is that you don't have to restart
Windows if you want to go from say 640x480x256 to 800x600x2 modes. I
set up seperate .BAT and PIF files for the modes I want to use and
then set menu selections in CMDPOST for them.

If your VGA card and printer are on the supported list for IV+ you
might want to try it.
