Has anyone tried printing a 24 bit color image (PICT) on a LaserWriter ? I 
have the new LaserWriter drivers that allow color/grayscale printing and 
they work fine with 8 bit color images. However, when the same application 
(Canvas or PageMaker) is used to print a 24 bit image, the printer 
generates a PostScript error. Is this a known problem ? The Mac 
documentation that talks about the new LaserWriter drivers does not 
mention anything about 24 bit images not being supported. (32 bit 
quickdraw is installed).
Any pointers will be appreciated.
