Could it be a WinPrinter? That means you can't send it ASCII text and have it print, but have to render the text as a page of graphics in the language understood by the printer, and send that to it instead. If so, the only real hope is that there is a driver for it for ghostscript. If you search the archives for this list, there are pointers to a web page that lists WinPrinters, and their status. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
