[comp.sys.tandy] ms word and driver for tandy dmp430 printer

ehr@ecsvax.uncecs.edu (Ernest H. Robl) (12/29/88)

I am using a newly-acquired Zenith SupersPort with my existing
Tandy DMP430 printer.  My problem is that MS Word,s printer
driver for the DMP430 -- which, incidentally, I like and which
has served well for a number of years -- only includes tables
for a couple of the printer's many fonts.

Though I can make a new .prd file, I thought I'd ask first to
see if anyone else has already done this and would be willing
to share a copy.

Also, I vaguely remember hearing somewhere that the versions
of MS Word sold in Radio Shack stores have more complete and
/or additional drivers for Tandy printers which were written
by Tandy.  I is this true?

(My copy of MS Word was purchased through Duke University.)

I also have a Radio Shack DWP130, which still works well 
(with my rapidly fading Model III).  I am trying to figure
out if I can get this to work with the Zenith and MS Word,
too.

Thanks in advance for any replies.  -- Ernest
