I have a couple of questions about desk-top publishing programs that I hope
someone can answer.  I am specifically interested in Pro-Page and Pagestream
but if you would like to comment on other packages, feel free to do so.

  - Can it print to a non-postscript printer using the printer's full
    graphics resolution.  I mean really using the printer's resolution, 
	not just scaling the screen to the printer's resolution as
	Prowrite, for example, does.

  - How long does it take to print a moderately complex page this way?
    (Tell me what kind of system you are using).

  - How fast are screen updates?  Sub second?  Multi second?  Tens of
    seconds?  Minutes?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
