    Yeah!  Check out the times:  5 min 35 secs to print out on Best Quality a
one-page AWGS page layout document with the old driver.  Using the new
ImageWriter 4.0 driver, only 2 min 44 secs!!!  If the driver printed
bi-directionally, that would probably shave another 25% off the time! 
Fascinating watching it work... "Allocating memory", "Positioning print head",
"Rendering page image" <- I like that one!
