Seeing as there does now seem to be someone (Scott Lindsey) reading this
who can knowledgebly answer questions about AWGS, let me try repeating
the question I've asked a couple times before and not had answered (as
best I remember).

I have an HP DeskJet printer.

a) is there any chance of AWGS supporting that printer?

b) if not, prsumably it will however drive it running in Epson emulation
mode (EVERYONE supports epson.)

c) in either case -- what kind of resolution is output printed at:  GS
screen resolution or the finest density the printer can support?  (e.g.,
if I were to use the AWGS graphics features to draw boxes, circles and
lines, etc., what resolution would those be printed at?)

d) if I am printing just ordinary text (whether mixed with graphics or
not) does that get printed out in graphics mode -- a la macintoshes --
or is AWGS smart enough to switch the printer back to text mode when it
is printing text in a font supported by (or close to one supported by)
teh printer?

(I know of at least one desktop program in the IBM world that is smart
enough to do that.)
