Has anyone done Macpaint files on the laserwriter?

	After some persistence I finally got something to print out on
the laserwriter at work with a postscript file generated on my Mac at
home. Thanks for all the help! However, I still have some questions.  I
made a postscript file of a thunderscanned tiger, and the laserwriter
output seems kindof coarse compared to what the laserwriter ought to be
able to do.  I realize that this is because of the bitmapped Macpaint
resolution, (I hear that drawings generated with MacDraw look much
better on the laserwriter).

	To get better resolution of a macpaint doc on a laserwriter, can
a reduction be done to increase the resolution (less coarse)? What is
the optimal reduction? Should this reduction be done at the Mac when
selecting print options, -OR- can the reduction be done at the
laserwriter with a postscript command?

	Does anybody have any neat postscript pictures, drawings, fonts,
etc which they can post to the net, or mail me?
