[comp.sys.ibm.pc] WordPerfect and Epson LQ850

raf@helios.PRC.Unisys.COM (Ralph A. Foy) (12/09/88)

Does anyone know how to setup WordPerfect (v. 5.0) so that it can use
the Courier cartridge for the Epson LQ850 printer?   Its close
cousin, the LQ800, does not support the cartridges, and therefore its
driver does not help at all.

Would appreciate if you could e-mail solutions/experiences/horror
stories to me.

Thanks,

Ralph

You're in luck. I have written a driver for the LQ-850 for WP 5.0. It is
available on CompuServe in the WPSG forum in the Printer Driver Library under
the name EPLQ85.ARC. If you don't have access to CompuServe, send me mail. The
driver supports ALL the font modules (ALL pitches, etc...).
