I use ShowPrintII to dump out IFF pictures.  It's a small PD program
that uses Preferences to print (but lets you set a few options like
landscape, color etc.).

One other thing I found is to set preferences (I think) and
ShowPrintII to print color and not b/w or gray scale.  The latter two
look like $%^&*.

I get great looking output on mine.  I am always bringing DigiView
pictures into work and amazing people.

(one more note:  for great text output get PageStream!!!!!)
