As an answer to your worries I repeat a message I published here a few
days ago and which you might not have seen yet:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hurrah folks,
 
at last I found the solution ... for printing TEXT nicely with:
 
- Apple IIGS
- GS/OS 5.0.4
- NEC P6+ 24-pin printer (emulates Epson LQ 800)
- ParallelPro Interface (Applied Engineering)
- Harmonie 2.0 (Vitesse)
- AppleWorks GS 1.1  (a rather stupid and buggy program by
                      the way; any updates in sight?)
 
You only have to do the following:
 
CONTROL PANEL
Port:         ParallelPro
Printer Type: EpsonLQ800
 
PAGE SETUP
Paper Type:    As you like
Aspect Ratios: Imagewriter Condensed (this concerns only the
               vertical/horizontal DPI ratio, not the type of printer
               installed)
Orientation:   As you like
To Margin:     As you like
 
With Imagewriter Condensed therefore: Horizontal DPI: 80
                                      Vertical DPI:   72
 
PRINT
Quality:        180/180
                (360/360 is nice too, but more like boldface)
Rendering:      Internal (essential!)
Paper Feed:     As you like
Page Order:     As you like
Unidirectional: As you like (I can't see a difference)
 
OTHER MENU: Shading:    2 Tones (important!)
            Contrast:   Medium
            Brightness: Normal
            Dithering:  Checkerboard
 
 
As I never use graphics I haven't tried those yet, but judging from
the very decent and fast text output it should be O.K.
