I was actually talking about the light version. I though the only difference
was that it only comes with a few fonts. The light version supports color
printing to the PaintWriter, so I would be totally amazed if it didn't support
the ImageWriter II.

I didn't know that it was only $55. A co-worker actually handles all our
purchases and I just grabbed the software when it arrived and tested it.
At that price it's a must for anyone who has a quickdraw printer.

Did I mention that it runs even on a MacPlus? (At least it says so.)
