Printing to Laser Color Printing Causing Problems

[serinty]

Can someone help this newbie. I am working with a tri-fold brouchure that was already created. I made some changes and now I am trying to print it to my HP Color Laser Printer. The pictures are not coming out clearly. Looks like the resolution is off and Im not sure how to set the options to print correctly from my office printer. Also the whole document looks kinda crooked. Thank you so much for your help.

Unless you've got a PostScript compatible printer, your images won't be printed in optimal resolution; only the preview will be printed. What I do when printing to a non postscript printer (though this might not be the best solution), is saving the quark document as an EPS-file, then opening the EPS file in photoshop entering the same dpi (resolutin) as the printer output dpi. This is an extremely slow process, but hey, it works for me. Glad to hear of any better suggestions.
