The primary difference is that a collection of large scale fonts is required.  
Much like the IW2 looks for 2X size fonts when asked to print in "Best" 
quality, the IWLQ looks for 4X sized fonts in order to utilize its Best 
quality output.  Thus, in addition to having a set of regular sized fonts 
(9-18 pt) for draft and better printing, you also need to have the same fonts 
in 36, 40, 48, and 72 pt. for the LQ output.  

Makes for some _big_ systems!.
