The use of the effect of the "outlined" font has nothing to do with the
disabling some of the print quality button selection.
Your problem is probably caused by how the application deals with the
printer driver. Often when the application run into an unfamiliar printer
driver, it will use the low level printer driver call, SetRsl to set
printer resolution to the maximum. If this is done when using the
StyleWriter, the "faster mode" push button will be disabled.
Applications like MacWrite, that talks only to the high level print
driver, do not have this problem.
