Umm, what details of the printer are you able to tell us? Hopefully it is a common brand which should still have OS/2 drivers from say 10-12 years ago. It should certainly have drivers from Warp 4 which should continue to function under eCS... Down here in Oz, we have an old IBM 42XX heavy duty impact printer plus an Epson 570+ still functioning on eCS 1.2. I am confident that something can be done as long as the printer can be maintained hardware-wise. >I am willing to invest in a >new printer, but not for something that I can not get >OS/2 drivers. > >What are your resources?

That conjures up some mind-warping images in relation to a person signing with the name "Elaine Hatfield" :-) I will copy this email to the os/2 Australian mailing list for further help. >Thank you. > >Elaine Hatfield. > Well, we haven't helped you yet, but we appreciate your confidence.
