You may recall our discussion about the slack canon bj-300/330
drivers for native os/2. 

There was talk they would be fixed in os/2 v4. Well, I've just
upgraded, and guess what? No new bj300/330 driver! :(

I looked in the supplementary driver cd-rom. The driver supplied
is the old v1.11 'third party' 'software 2000' driver from the
uk, which we have been using under os/2 v3 for 12-18 months. 

Still no printer driver option to control the dual bins on my
bj330, let alone any serious implementation of other functions. I
didn't bother to install it. I'll stick with the ibm execjet
4072.

I even tried the beta of word pro for os/2, to see its printer
functions. Pretty ordinary. Though, I discovered a 'paper bin'
option under file..document properties..page, which offers bin 2
under the execjet4072. Hardly convenient, but better than
nothing. I've yet to properly test it.

Your praise of the w95 drivers led me to add it via bootmanager.
You are right, W95 has superior print functionality. Canon, and
IBM (forget canon! - they are still on my 'pass over' list) need
to look at windoze to see how to do it. 

They make it hard for me to 'totally' love os/2. It was my only
os. But, I've installed W95 as well, and will give that a going
over.

Pity, as os/2 is a top os.
