LaserGo Inc. has a neat commercial product called GoScript Plus which
gives you near-perfect Apple Laserwriter Plus emulation with a wide
variety of printers (HP LaserJet, Epson FX dot matrix, and many
others).  I don't know if the QuietWriter is among the supported
printers, but GoScript does very high-quality PostScript emulation;
I sometimes will have WordPerfect print a PS file to disk, then run
it through GS, and the resulting printout on my HP-compatible laser
printer is flawless.  You might want to look into this; if the QW
is supported, it would be an excellent choice.
