There is a bit of confusion here.  Harmony needs Times 40 in 
the font  directory in order to print 300x300 dpi to a DeskJet 
in Times 10.  With Pointless installed, you can use a Truetype 
Times font, and Pointless will scale it to Times 40 when Harmony 
looks for it.

What version numbers are you using?
Do you have Truetype fonts installed for the fonts you are trying 
to print?
Have you selected DeskJet best (75x75) in the page setup dialog?
Have you selected 300x300 in the print dialog?

GW III, Harmony, Pointless, Truetypes, and a DeskJet do yield laser-like 
results.  :)
