I believe there are DeskJet on funet http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/cbm/geos/drivers/printers/index.html There perhaps should work with the InkJet as they should only use a subset of the commands on the newer printer. You may however need to use a GeoCable with these drivers (also at the site). This should all work if you use GEOS 2.x, but if you are still using v1.2 I would not imagine that GeoCable would work. Check also the GeoThek disks. - Nick > -----Original Message----- > From: Craig S.
