Hi all...
 
Maybe some of you out there can help out here.  I'm relatively new to
the Amiga world, and I've found that I'm having a hard time printing
out good quality graphics. let me expand on this...
 
I write a lot of papers and what not.  I've tried various
wordprocessors and I've found that when I use anything but the built
in printer fonts on either of my printers( the Panasonic 1124 or the
Citizen GSX 140, both 24 pin printers), I get absolute crap for
quality. I'm using the Epsonq printer driver.  Now, am I correct in
assuming that it is the printer drivers fault for this?  We can take
the same printer over to the IBM and print out using practically any
other package and get much better quality.  
 
Currently, I am using Pen Pal.  I don't want to spend hundreds of
dollars buying all kinds of word processors because from what I can
tell they pretty much all get the same quality.  
 
How can I fix this?  Do I need a good printer driver? Where can I get
one?

Maybe I should add that what I am talking about when I say graphics is
actually different fonts.  

Any help is appreciated.  I've got a bunch of really bummed out people
down here who are losing faith...
