Does anyone out there have a copy of the improved "NX10NLQ-2.1" Geos printer
driver they could put on a disk and mail to me? I of course will reimburse
for the cost of the disk and postage.
Thanks in advance.

Could someone merely post these drivers? They are short and shouldn't cause problems for anyone's site. Or alternately how about uuencoding the driver and mailing it to people who want it? Good ideas, no? Kris Tenbarge P.S. The driver was the NX10NLQ-2.1

Does anyone have experience printing with a Star NX-1000 Printer? Which driver would best would for that, since even the GEOS 2.0 does not have a driver listed. I haven't had time to try out for the best compatible but could NX-10 or NQ-10 work properly? I am using a Xetex Regular Printer interface.

I recenlty bought an Epson LQ-1000 (not LQ-1000) and have a few questions regarding using it with GEOS. As soon as I got the printer, I did a test to determine which of the many compatible printer drivers provided the best output. I found three (Epson LQ-1500, Star NB-15, Epson LX-80) that provide superior output. However, none of them performed perfectly. I was told to get a copy of PrintDriverPatcher by George Wells. This program looks like what I need, but the documentation proved next to useless. Is there anyone out there who knows about printer drivers and who could tell me how I could go about patching these drivers? This is what I would like to do: - Set the page length of the LX-80 driver to that of the LQ-1500 driver. - Change the NLQ control codes (escape codes for bold, italics, subscript, superscript, etc.) for all 3 drivers. - Whenever I print in High Quality mode with the NB-15 driver, it reduces everything to about 1/2 of its normal size. Does anyone know how I could go about turning the reduction off? - Finally, how can I create a LaserMatrix driver compatible with the LQ-1500 driver? Thanks in advance, Ben Wildasin And yes, I would vote in favor of a comp.binaries.cbm. And how about a comp.os.geos? ****************************************************** * InterNet: * COLE'S LAW: * * bwildasi@silver.bacs.indiana.edu * Thinly sliced * * indp0080@iubacs * cabbage. * ******************************************************
