- We are unable to print color images (documents based
- on CGrafPorts) in our MacApp-based application. Is
- the problem in the Print Manager, the LaserWriter
- driver, MacApp, or elsewhere? We are under the impression
- that the LaserWriter driver is the culprit and will not
- support Color QuickDraw. If this is the case, when is
- a fix expected? We cannot release our product given the
- status of the current driver unless we work around the
- problem and produce direct PostScript output (a la PageMaker).
-
- Along similar lines, what is the story with the ImageWriter
- driver? Will it ever handle CGrafPort operations? Will it
- then produce dithered representations of pixel intensities, or
- what? When is such a release planned?
-
- We would like to work within the MacApp framework of print
- utilization, but this will require working printer driver to
- support the types of color images our applications produce.
