Hello!
I have a lot of problems using my deskjet+ under windows3.0, particularly
using winword.
1. Why has every printer driver (even for 9pins) have lots of fonts
   to choose from and the deskjet driver can use only the deskjet-courier
   and the windows-fonts modern, roman and script?
2. Winword (and other windows programs too) don't print special characters
   (e.g. like the german "umlaute" ) when the deskjet-courier fonts are
   used. The characters are transmitted correctly when printing from DOS
   and when one of the windows screen fonts is used.
3. How can i print greek characters like alpha under winword with the
   DESKJET? The alpha is not part of the ansi-set and if i enter the
   IBM-extended code, unly a underscore is printed on screen and on 
   the printer.
4. Why does my printer eject an empty page after each printed one?
   The deskjet does that only from winword.

If anyone can help me with one of these questions....

Thanks a lot,
              Kay Hofmann
