I use SuperMac's SuperLaserSpool with my Imagewriter II and am generally
very happy with it.

One thing to be careful of, though:  I create a lot of overhead
presentations using MicroSoft PowerPoint.  I find that SuperLaserSpool
doesn't get character spacing correct when it prints landscape mode slides
from PowerPoint -- I have to turn off spooling when I print these.

For text, though, and I use a MacWrite and WriteNow, it's terrific.

Price is $82 from MacConnection (September issue of MacWorld).
