    Hello Net.

    I have an IBM 6783 typewriter and it has a Centronics  inter-
    face ("Wheelwriter  Series  II  Printer Option"). I'd like to
    know if it's possible to use it with Windows. I'm  interested
    in using  it's  formatting features also (bold, italic etc.),
    so I guess the normal Text Only-driver is out  of  the  ques-
    tion.

    So, my main question is: is there an easy way to  modify  the
    Windows printer  driver or the codes it sends to the printer?
    Or could I create my own driver ? 

    Please mail me if you anything about this, and I'll summarize
    later on.

    Thanks.
