It's not as flexible as TurborPrint, nor does it have things like
Graphics Publisher.

It largely depends on whether your printer is supported by OS3.5, but
I'd say that you'd be better off keeping TurboPrint running. I use TP7
with OS3.5 with no conflicts.

I'm not sure about the upgrade from TP6 to TP7. I bought it at WoA and
didn't really notice any difference. The PostScript support is probably
nice, but I have a PS printer so I haven't tried it.
