I'm rather afraid I'll have the same results, and won't be able to 
find an app that I like as well.  I don't typically print from 
ClarisDraw anymore, I get postscript copies and import the data into 
Adobe InDesign, but that's just because of what I'm using it for.

The problem I was seeing under 10.3.9 was that there were a few 
glitches in how a couple things were handled with pallets.  Nothing 
that actually stopped me from being able to use it, but it was a 
little annoying.
