->  Okay. Good to know. Thanks. WordPerfect for
->  DOS is still THE popular wordprocessor at the
->  volunteer group.

 And the Wordperfect Web site still has Printer drivers avaialble. As I
recall for the HP up to the LJ5. And as far as using the PRN command
form a command prompe al lthe HP printers up to the Laser Jet 1200 will
print the standard Keyboatd character set.
Just last Twisdat I sent a Print screen to a HP Laser Jet 1200 undser
DOS 6.22
Also rembember that HP lasers have very good backward compatability and
as I believe I mentioned before any HP driver back to the LJ III should
work for most programs. The LJ II drivers are a problem because of the
limited internal fonts in that printer and one needs to use Soft Fonts
if one wants much more then 10 CPI printing.
