One of the TrueType-related packages on apple.com contains version "6.1"
of all the old familiar printer drivers (ImageWriter, LaserWriter etc).

I know the LaserWriter driver has had major enhancements done to it
for the TrueType support.

I'm just wondering about the other drivers. I had a brief look at
the ImageWriter 6.1 driver with ResEdit, and noticed the following:

      * colour icons for use with Finder 7.0 (whoop-de-do...)
      * "balloon help" text for use with System 7.0
      * "Print" button in print job dialog, instead of "OK"
      * the PDEF code resources are slightly different in size
       	from the 2.7 version (but not the DRVR).

Are there any release notes for these new drivers, describing the bug
fixes and feature enhancements? I'd like to know if it's worth upgrading
people or not.
