When I used Printshop on someone else's Mac SE with System 6.0 and the
LaserWriter IISC, it really got messed up with all the bitmaps being
munged and placed at odd areas on the page.  It seems that Broderbund
didn't follow some of the printer interface guidelines, or it could be
that the LWIISC is just a plain bad idea (I think the latter is true :-)
