I allways recommend the HP PS cartridge but it doesn't let you select either PS or PCL/GL modes, just forces PS mode only. But at least its true PS. If you decide to go this route, use WordPerfect's IID PS driver. > Secondly, is the WP driver for the IIID out yet ??? Yes, it comes on the latest printer drivers dated 8/24/90. If you call and ask for the driver, they might send it to you for free. Otherwise its $10 for the first 5 disks, and $1 per disk after the 5th (5.25" disks). So if you asked for all 14 printer disks (printer disks 1 to 13 plus the user- contrib), it would put you back $19. Bob Bob Kusumoto | Find the electric messiah!
