[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Okidata 182 Printer

tea6219@evtprp0b (Terry E. Acker) (07/27/90)

I have an Okidata 182 printer that I am trying to use with Windows and
other applications.  None of the applications I have have a driver for
a "straight" 182.  Many packages do have a driver for a 182 with the
"plug-N-play" module.  My question is, what exactly is a "plug-N-play"
module?  Is it a different ROM chip, or something that goes between the
PC and printer?  Does it make the Oki IBM compatible (ie, extended
character set and escape sequences)?  Has anyone ever seen one?  Does
anyone know where I can get one?

Any help/advice anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated!
