Richard, I would echo what Don told you – the Commodore-supplied Preferences driver works well. You might also be interested in some third-party Deskjet drivers from a company called Creative Focus. They posted a driver called Better_DJ that I think is in the libraries here, and they sell an even better one called Super_DJ that they claim has many advantages over the Commodore driver. I should point out, however, that I stopped using the Better_DJ driver because it does not handle the alternate character set properly, which the Commodore driver does. I don't know if the Super_DJ driver implements the alt set or not. You can find an ad for it on page 103 of the July '89 Amazing Computing.

My understanding is that the Plus requires a different driver that the one used on the earlier Desk Jet. Might want to look into that.
