I used to have a 288 dpi Quickdraw laser printer. It was absolutely
brilliant. You knew exactly what you were getting, because everything
was simply rasterised in the Mac and effectively printed at 25%%.
You could print perfectly readable 3 point text, if you had one of Susan
Kare's beautiful 12 point bit-mapped fonts installed.
