Ask a person who owns one.

	1)  ELAN's  DWB  software is no better than AT&T's.

	    AT&T's  DWB  prints just fine on my lj+.

	2)  ELAN's 'pic' can only print trivial diagrams.

	    Four elipses with eight arrow arcs caused "error 21"
	    (the page formatting process is not fast enough for
	     the printer) on my lj+.

AUTOCAD, on the other hand, generates top-quality Space Shuttle graphics
on the same printer!
