    I tried to e-mail a reply, but my mailer couldn't manage it :-(

  I think your problem lies either in your word processor, or in the
printer driver.  I use a GSX-140 with ProText (on an ST, but Amiga
versions of ProText are available), and it correctly right and left
justifies proportional print.  (It does it by micro-spacing - ie. it
makes the spaces between words exactly the same size to within one dot
(one 360th of an inch).

  It even correctly justifies with mixed fonts, double width,
condensed, 15 pitch, etc. all jumbled up on the same line.

  Sorry - I don't know about pagestream.
