Re: NBLingua and Epson LQ 850 pin-printer

[Wayne Meeks <wayne.meeks>]

I never used the 850, but I've happily used the LQ500 for years with NB
4.0, 4.2 and now 4.5.  Since Epsons apparently never wear out, when the
Univ. gave me a HP DJ670c with a new laptop this year, I kept the Epson at
my other house.  (Only problem is remembering to activate the other
printer each time I travel).  The DM 24 pin, by the way, is way faster
than the inkjet, and I never had any problems with Lingua characters.  The
drivers for the LQ500 and the LQ850 are included in the NB installation
disks.
