[comp.windows.ms] HELP ... printer driver needed

ldh@hcx1.SSD.HARRIS.COM (12/19/88)

Does anyone out there have a driver for the DataProducts LZR1230 printer?

The problem (as far as I can tell ...) is that the dataproducts emulates an
HPLJ+, but includes (as standard) many of the fonts that required cartridges on
the original.  Our problem lies in the selection of the appropriate "cartridge"
in the printer configuration menu ... we can never select more than one 
cartridge and therefore be able to take advantage of all the available fonts.

Thanks !

Two possibilities that I can think of...

1) If you have the Aldus PCL driver, you can specify that the printer is a LJ II
and get two cartridges selected.  That allows a few more fonts (yeah, really a
stop-gap sort of "solution")

2) Pound on DataProducts (or anyone who is willing to write drivers) to 
build one for the printer.
