I'm not familiar with the Okidata 4W, but it sure sounds like a
Windows GDI printer.  If so, all rasterization is done by the PC's CPU
-- the printer has no smarts at all.  I don't think such a printer can
do anything at all under DOS or any other operating system except
Windows.
JM> Can such printers be used under Warp and access Windows fonts?
No.
