In the old days, 1.8 gave better print results - something to do with 
dot gains (?).  That's proper commercial printing, not the stuff we do 
with desktop printers. I don't think it makes any difference now, but I 
could be wrong.  If not, there are no obvious obstacles to Apple 
switching to 2.2.
