	This is approximately the answer I expected.  My understanding 
(gained about 20 minutes before seeing this) is that TeXtures outputs 
Postscript, which is sent to non-postscript printers as a bitmap (I'm not 
sure about this, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong).

	If this is indeed the case, will Freedom of Press help here?  I 
have heard that it can print postscript files to non-postscript devices.
