  It depends on how AmigaTalk has implemented printer support. I haven't seen
it, so I can't say for sure. However, assuming that LSR: uses the printer
device to process printer output then it should work OK. Since PostDriver is
a full Preferences printer driver, anything that supports preferences printers
works with PostDriver.
  If LSR: isn't using the Amiga printer device, you can still get the output
to AmigaTalk using the CMD utility on the Workbench disk and print to PRT:.
Just set the CMD output file to LSR: and print away.
  I'd like to check this with the makers of AmigaTalk, have you got an address
or phone number to them?
