Hello, 

I have an Amiga 500 with 1k, an HP Laserjet IIP with 512k - and 
am using DPaintIII, Professional Page 1.3, and ProWrite 3.0.

I am having difficulty getting a professional looking print from
any of the above software applications on the laser printer.  The
text always has jagged edges - even with the smoothing option 
turned on.  I have a friend who uses the same printer with a pc
and his text looks great - should I be using a different word
processor?  

I also cannot get more than a half page of graphics to print on 
the printer - which I usderstand is a memory problem.  Will 
getting more memory speed up the printer at all?  (We're talking 
slooowwwww!).  Professional Page also seems to require more
ram - is this easy to install myself?

I am also interested in PostScript processing.  I realize I will
need the additional 2k of memory and the PostScript cartridge for
the printer, but does the 1.3 os have a printer driver that
handles PostScript?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated - thanks in advance -
