Subject: HP DeskJet Plus, what drivers work best?

Some poor client of ours used to deal with another dealer (who shall
remain anonymous).  That dealer sold them an HP Deskjet Plus with the
Grappler LS (software-only driver that works with the ImageWriter LQ
driver).

Needless to say, this setup isn't too hot.  I can't understand who might
recommend such a setup instead of a DeskWriter in a 100% macintosh office!

The problems are numerous, especially with Word 4.0 with Legal size page
setups.  The client has the following configuration:

Mac Plus, 1meg, 6.0.x (recent), Rodime 20meg, Grappler ls v1.0.1, ImageWriter
LQ driver version 2.0.

Is there a more recent version of the LS driver that works well with
Word 4.0 and legal size stuff?  What about the GDT Softworks drivers or
Mac Print?

I also think the 1meg configuration could be causing problems (luckily, the
only other Init running is disinfectant), can anyone confirm this?
