Hi,

I made a comparison between the outputs of Abiword & Gimp.
I inserted an image file (jpeg) into Abiword and print it using Postscript and PDF. It's a bit strange that the ps and pdf files are about the same size.

     4470733 Apr 30 08:26 coverabwcolor.pdf
     4471522 Apr 30 08:24 coverabwcolor.ps
       28129 Apr 30 08:17 covergimpbw.pdf
      229953 Apr 30 08:16 covergimpbw.ps
       48770 Apr 30 08:13 covergimpcolor.pdf
      683328 Apr 30 08:11 covergimpcolor.ps

Opening the same image in Gimp and then directly printed it to a ps file gave me a smaller size compared to the file generated by Abiword, and running the ps file by ps2pdf gave me a yet smaller pdf file. Using the B&W option of Gimp print resulted even in a smaller file size.

I think it would be nice to have a B&W option in Abiword printer driver; so that the ps files would be lots smaller.
