When using such a program, it is ONLY possible to render EXTERNAL. There is
another problem: the deskWriter series work at 57.600 baud, while the deskJets
work at 19.2k. On the GS, there is a CDA that can speed up the printerport to
57.6k or 38.4k, and I have tried this, but Appleworks resets the baudrate to
19.2k max. If anyone has found a way to fix it, then it would be
possible to print on a GS, external, with the nasty font...
