The reason for the squashed output of your postscript printouts is 
the cruddy fonts supplied with excellence!
If you copy the amigados 2 fonts (courier etc) into the font directory
of excellence and rename them with a 'p' at the beginning, the output
will be quite good.
Using hires (interlaced) mode will show you on the screen what sort
of aspect ratio you'll get on the output.
I agree that the supplied fonts give an unprofessional output. It is 
disgusting that such expensive programs are sold with such glaringly bad
deficiencies.
