  The only "fix" for the Laserjet which works is the one I posted; don't
use the laserjet output. I tried all the others (and most were for
deskjet, not laserjet) without success. Doing output to a PBM file and
then using PBM to convert to laserjet format is possible, but it sure is
slow and cumbersome.

  I guess it all depends on how rich you are, if having to buy a
postscript printer to get decent output doesn't pose a problem, or you
don't mind sending out your resume with absolutely no white space
between lines, then it's not a stopper. My options were to find a way
around or convert the system back to DOS, so I found a hack for now, but
it's so inconvenient that I am going to roll back to 2.4.1 this weekend.
It's a stopper if you need the features that don't work.

    I admit that when I was in school I wrote COBOL. But I didn't compile.
