Summary: PowerPoint problem update

A couple of weeks ago, I posted an article relating a problem I'm having
with PowerPoint (a presentation preparation tool, in case you're unfamiliar
with it).  Briefly, I find that when I print speaker's notes or handouts --
anything involving a reduced version of my overhead slides -- PowerPoint
omits alternate words of the slide text; graphics seem to come out OK.

Now I find that if I request printing of the speaker's notes or handouts
at "faster" quality (as opposed to "best" which I use for full sized
slides) everything comes out alright (except for the quality, of course).
I can live with this as long as I keep a fresh supply of printer ribbons
but am curious -- and DO want an answer.  

I doesn't seem reasonable that PowerPoint would care what printer quality
I've selected (does it even see the printer dialogue box?), so now I'm
beginning to suspect the Imagewriter driver.  Anyone hear of such a
problem?

I'm running a Mac+ with 1 Meg, HD20SC, System 4.1, Finder 5.2, Imagewriter 
Driver 2.6.

Thanks for the suggestions.
