There are two ways you can go here.

1)  The simplest route is to get a grafport from Print Manager and then
use PaintPixels or CopyPixels to copy the image from your port to the
printing port.  By doing this, you will in effect be printing a
bitmap.  This means that printing in Better Text on an ImageWriter
will mess up your image.  Also, this won't take advantage of the
better quality of the LaserWriter output.

2)  The better route is to get a grafport from Print Manager and then
redraw your stuff in the printing port.  This way Better Text will
really mean better text and you will get higher quality text and lines
on a LaserWriter.
