In my previous article about the Grappler LQ (GLQ) I mentioned that it
was impossible to use the internal printer fonts. Yesterday I discovered
that is not quite true. The GLQ manual doesn't mention this, but here is
how I produced printer output in the LetterQuality internal printer fonts
of my Epson LQ550:

It is quite simple: just use Monaco 10 point. If you then select draft
printing from your print dialog box, output on the printer will be fine.
From the printer control panel, I then could select the various resident
printer fonts. Bold and underline printing is supported.

The output produced like this looks marvellous : you have
to be an expert to destinguish it from text output by a
laser printer.

It seems a bit contradictory: draft printing in LQ, but it works fine.

Only drawback: Monaco is a non-proportional font, so I can't print on
my Epson in proportional. I guess this could be done if I found the
equivalent font on the Mac. Does anybody know what font you have to use
on a Mac for an Imagewriter LQ to produce proportional draft printing ?
