Important for all Apple Printing and Graphics Developers:
The information in this Technical Q & A is still relevant up to and including
Mac OS 7.6
with QuickDraw GX 1.1.5. Beginning with the release of Mac OS 8.0,
however, Apple plans to deliver a system which incorporates QuickDraw GX
graphics and typography only. QuickDraw GX printer drivers and GX printing
extensions will not be supported in Mac OS 8.0 or in future Mac OS releases. Apple's
goal is to simplify the user experience of printing by unifying the Macintosh
graphic and printing architectures and standardizing on the classic Printing
Manager.

Q: I am developing a customized raster GX driver that allows changes in scaling,
flipping and/or resolution. Are there any known limitations regarding changes
in scaling, flipping, and/or resolution?
A: We are not aware of any problems with raster drivers that allow changes in
scaling, flipping, and/or resolution. If you're having a problem, it is
probably somewhere in your code that does MoveMapping and ScaleMapping.
