I am thinking of selling my ImageWrite II and buying an ImageWriter LQ.
Are there any potential drawbacks to this? For example, does MS Word,
which is very fussy about printer drivers, handle the LQ without problems.
Also, I've heard that because the LQ has a 27 pin printhead, to get high
quality print, you have to have font sizes that are triple that of what
you are using (e.g., for 12 times, you have to also have 36 point times).
This is, of course, not surprising, but in some ads that I've read, they
keep mentioning something about "built-in" fonts. Does the printer really
come with built-in fonts?
