[comp.sys.atari.st] Desk Jet drivers?

jlong@icc.afit.arpa (Jeffrey K. Long) (08/17/88)

I have the opportunity to get my hands on an HP Desk-Jet at a price that is too good to pass up (I have a friend at HP Vancouver in the Desk-Jet div.).  How 
many prog's out there support the Desk-Jet?
   I would appreciate a posting, or E-mail from anyone who knows about this 
   issue.  Does WP support the Desk-Jet?  I want to use the printer for 
   my Thesis work, so I hope WP does have a driver.  Info Please!!!!!

The HP DeskJet follows a subset of the HP LaserJet command set.  There is a
LaserJet driver to work with Publishing Partner that is included with
Partner Fonts (by SoftLogic).  It works just fine with the DeskJet.

Also, you can buy an Epson (FX-80) emulation cartridge that works
great.  It has worked with all software that I have tried it with. 
It is slow printing sideways (for spreadsheets).
