It does take quite a while to form a page but PostScript has never been quick anyway. It also has a few quirks right now (it sometimes puts dots where it shouldn't). I spoke with the developer and he told me that they are getting ready to release an upgrade which will fix any know problems. They are also working on supporting more fonts and adding color. It is kind of intertesting and rewarding to see PostScript quality output coming out of a standard 9-pin Epson compatible printer when used in the 240x216 dpi mode! :^) Regards, David
