Some friends of mine are considering buying a Mac, but aren't particularly
impressed with the print quality of the Imagewriter II.  I'm looking for
comments and suggestions from people who have used any of the inexpensive
24-pin printers ($400-$500) with compatible printer drivers.  I called
SoftStyle and got a glossy on their drivers, but didn't find it particularly
informative.  

Do these things work well with the current Mac applications (like Word)?
Do they provide better print quality?

Thanks.
