MacDraw Pro: Slow Printing to QuickDraw Printers

This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.
TIP: to print as fast as possible to QuickDraw printers (ImageWriter, DeskWriter, LaserWriter IISC, GCC PLP (General Computer Corporation Personal Laser Printer) and so forth), do the following:

1- Use MacDraw Pro 1.5, not 1.0v1
2- If using System 7, use Tuneup 1.1.1.
3- Turn OFF the "Maximum Printing Resolution" option in Preferences. However, note that rotated text will print very poorly with this option disabled.
