Richie, I have noticed that you have something to do with the printer drivers on the PD board, I am in desperate need of a driver for an Epson GQ-3500 laser printer, could you possibly help? Thanks, Ed Barcik 72220,2531

Hi Ed! I've written a printer driver for the Prowriter and I spent some time distributing printer drivers thorugh various BBSes etc. If you need a brand new printer driver, check out the Printer Driver generator program (I think it's called PRTGEN). It's somewhere in the DLs. Using it you should be able to construct a printer driver for your printer. I presume that your printer uses "standard" interface – I mean, that it's controlled by escape/control sequences. Check out PRTGEN and let me know how that turns out…. ..Richie

Ed, The program Richie mentions is PDG23.ARC in DL9. It is not really good for the special laser printer features, but is OK if your printer emulates a dot matrix printer. J0RGEN
