I recently started using a LaserWriter LS.  I have used ATM rather than True
Type.  I noticed the following problems and behavior -- I'd appreciate any
comments or further info on these plus any other problems others have noticed.

1)  Adobe Illustrator 3.0 appears to print out at 72 DPI.  I will call Adobe.

2)  Canvas 2.1 appears to print fine with the exception of rotated text.

3)  Textures 1.3 with PostScript fonts.  If I use background printing, the
first page is fine, but then all the following pages are shifted to the left
about 1", even cutting off some text.  If I do not use background printing, all
pages print fine.  Other word processing software, such as Microsoft Word,
appear not to have this problem.  (I do have a call into Blue Sky regarding
this one -- they are usually right on top of all problems so I expect they will
be able to help me.)

4)  I am impressed by the fact that background printing does not seem to cut
into the responsiveness of the Mac (an SE-30).
