I have a similar complaint.  Last night I spent a couple of hours trying to
use PageSetter with my Epson LQ-800.  At a couple of places on the page, a
blank gap appeared across the width of the page, splitting the text and 
rendering it unreadable.  All of the text that wasn't thus affected was very
pleasing to the eye.  

I'm using "my own" LQ-800 printer driver, adapted from the Commodore Epson
driver.  I get excellent results with DPaint II, so I'm pretty sure that my
driver isn't buggy.  I also have a hunch that PageSetter might not be using
the Preferences settings.  My driver uses different density modes, based on
the Letter/Draft and 6 LPI / 8 LPI settings, with Draft/6 LPI being noticeably
faster.  Changing these settings made no apparent difference with PageSetter.

I've grown pretty much disenchanted with my Amiga/LQ-800 combination and its
prospects for ever generating quality output as I've seen/created on the
Macintosh with ImageWriter II.  I would like to hear from someone who has
a similar configuration, hopefully with better results than I'm getting.
