First, do they look **exactly** the way they do on the screen?  Same
resolution?  (This is understandable for printing from graphics .. what
module *are* you printing from?)  The stretchedness should be taken care
of in Page Setup by selecting Condensed mode.  That generates output basically
the same as a Mac.

I'm not aware of any general problems with this, although the only times I've
tried printing actual postscript files generated by AWGS has been from a
Sun running Unix.

"But the demo worked..."  :-)
