NB doesn't tend to write new drivers for *every* model of a printer
line, especially a line so frequently changed as HP's, but my last
NBPLIST.LST uses DJNEW.PRN for the HP DeskJet Series 600. that should be
adequate for your 610C. It dates back to April 1996.

If you need a Lingua driver, I'm less sure. There's a DJ5-ML.PRN that
works for the DJ540 and DJ560, and probably would do for the 610C.
Someone who's tried that will have to answer.

The NB website used to have these for download, but recent
reorganization of the site has me puzzled where some things have been
moved to.

*No* need to apologize! Even though Windows eliminates the printer
support headaches for NBWin users, there are plenty of NB4.x users 
still needing this and other types of mutual assistance. 

        I *do* suggest you at least upgrade to 4.5, so you get the
memory-management improvements that makes sorting, printing, and
Ibid/Orbis operations all go much more smoothly than 4.2 and earlier.
