I am currently completing a Dissertation on my little C64. The entire document is saved on disk using Word Writer 5. While printing a draft copy, my printer began to smudge badly. I am not yet through experimenting with different papers and ribons. Has anyone had any experience connecting Lazer printers to a C64? A nice clean Lazer printout would make a very nice manuscript. I have thought of converting my WW5 files to ASCII and sending them to my IBM at school, but that would take too long. I could probably rent a Lazer right here in town if I could get the proper interface. Please answer via email. Thanks in advance for your advice.

As long as your dissertation doesn't require graphics, you can be up and running with a laser printer very quickly. Most (but not all, so check before you buy or rent) lasers have settings for IBM and/or Epson emulation printer input. So select this option on the laser, use any Word Writer 5 compatable printer file driver (IBM or Epson), and use any of the printer interfaces to connect the laser to your C64. My preference is the Xetec Super Graphic Jr. However ALL the interfaces on the market today perform very well. For graphics, `fancy' fonts, and the like GEOS is the way to go with a laser printer. ------------- Howard Herman INET: 72560.3467@CompuServe.COM
