Wayne,
Try loading something like an HP LaserJet IIP from your NotaBene disks.
 The LJ IIP uses PCL3 codes which work for later DeskJets, at least
they used to.  Otherwise, install the highest number DeskJet from the
same collection of drivers.  The key is that you have to load a DOS
printer driver from the NotaBene disks.  Of course, the much awaited
NBWin will provide a permanant solution, right?
So, how's by you, brother?
Bill
