I sincerely hope that no Mac user or anyone else for that matter was offended by my obviously incorrect statement. What helped to confuse me was that as an HP authorized printer technician I was aware that Apples used Postscript printer control language to print. Postscript required the printer to address every pixel on every page. So a 600 dpi printer had to address roughly 56,100 pixels & determine which one got a dot & which one didn't. In comparison, a PC printed using the HP Printer Control Language. This downloaded fonts on boot up & from that point only sent commands saying "put an a here or a b there. So it SEEMED as though the PC responded much more quickly. Obviously I was confused & I hope the counseling helps me overcome my reliance on fact. Hopefully no one was offended by my explanation & in closing let me say, Macs print like pigs.

Using your reliance on "fact" can you explain why HP quotes the same printing specs, specifically ppm specs, for Macs and Wintels on their website?
This is the first I have heard about this significant Mac printing problem and I read a lot and have used Macs since 1984 and PCs off and on throughout that time.
I think your "facts" may be very dated. At one time, Macs were the only real machine for DTP (a long time ago) and perhaps then what you are saying has some relevance.
You seem to have a serious problem communicating like an adult, FWIW.
FWIW.
